Papers, 1937-1990, and n.d. (bulk 1967-1990).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/28086754

Contains correspondence; financial papers; writings and speeches; clippings; photographs, many by Dominic D'Eustachio; reports; minutes; scrapbooks; training manuals; student papers; printed material; audiovisual materials; and lecture notes chiefly relating to Salber's publications, teaching career, and work as a community health physician. Publications highlighted include CARING AND CURING (New York, N.Y. 1975); DON'T SEND ME FLOWERS WHEN I'M DEAD (Durham, N.C. 1983), containing interviews with the rural elderly in Durham County, N.C.; and THE MIND IS NOT THE HEART (Durham, N.C. 1989). Her work in the community health field is documented primarily in her writings, the papers about the Martha M. Eliot Family Health Center, and the Health Facilitator Program, which was administered through the Duke University Medical Center Department of Community and Family Medicine. Outgrowths of the Health Facilitator Program are featured in the information about the Health and Human Services Program of the General Baptist State Convention of North Carolina. Other topics include smoking research among young people, teacher and student relationships, and the financing of community health service projects. The collection contains few personal papers and little information about Salber prior to 1967. Explanatory notes by Salber scattered throughout the collection offer insights rarely available in manuscript collections.
