Elmer Belt, M.D. (1893-1980), was an internationally recognized urologist, a book lover who built and donated several important collections to universities including an unrivaled library of scholarly materials by and about Leonardo da Vinci, and a civic activist instrumental in the founding of the UCLA School of Medicine. His interests were wide and his energy unflagging. This collection of professional and personal papers, contributed by the estate of his nephew Willard Goodwin, M.D., illustrates Dr. Belt's intellectual interests, gracious concern for people of all stations, and his contributions to the science and practice of urology. Unfortunately severe mildew had attacked seven of the original 32 boxes of the gift and these had to be discarded.
