The Josiah C. Trent papers consist mostly of correspondence and notes for and drafts of published and unpublished research and articles. The collection also includes miscellaneous printed material, photographs, patient records and lecture notes taken as a medical student. There is also material relating to Dr. Trent's death and the subsequent donation of his private collection to the Duke Hospital Library. The bulk of the material documents Dr. Trent's activities and publications as surgeon and collector. Most of the correspondence chronicles Dr. Trent's involvement with various professional organizations and his acquaintance with prominent figures in various fields: medical history - John Fulton, Henry Sigerist, W. W. Francis; book collecting - Henry Schuman; Duke University - Wilburt Davison, Lenox D. Baker. This collection of papers consists mostly of papers removed from Dr. Trent's medical office upon his death and has relatively few items which pertain to his private life. Items of a more personal nature may be found in the James H. and Mary Duke Biddle Trent Semans Family Papers in the manuscript collection at Duke's Perkins Library.
