In the 1940s the Department of Occupational Therapy at NYU was one of the first university-level institutions to educate occupational therapists. A key aspect of the program was the completion of research projects related to practice specialization. Student notebooks from 1951-1958 prepared during the practical training at hospitals in the tri-state area comprise the bulk of the collection. Department newsletters, a 1988 yearbook, and articles written by faculty members provide additional information about the department's history from 1941-1990.
