http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/47102213

In 1924, Dr. Gerald B. Webb, a British physician who immigrated to Colorado Springs, Colorado in the late 1800s. Searching for a cure for his wife's tuberculosis, Webb founded a private research institute at Colorado College. Dr. James J. Waring joined the institute in 1926. A recovering tuberculosis patient, Dr. Waring became the director of the institute, moving it to Denver in 1953. The institute has undergone several name-changes, with the current name being adopted in 1998. The collection consists of legal correspondence, annual reports, and other material relating to the day-to-day operation of the institute.
