Frank Bradway Rogers papers, 1948-1982.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/50124888

Correspondence, speeches, research materials, and administrative reports highlight Rogers' early work at the NLM and for medical librarianship. The 1952 correspondence, in particular, discusses Rogers' paper comparing and contrasting the Library of Congress and Armed Forces Medical Library subject classification systems. Additionally, administrative files and correspondence related to the Johns-Hopkins research project to analyze medical indexing are included. There is a large set of speeches and presentations delivered at a wide variety of occasions. Another significant portion of the collection consists of internal narrative reports compiled by each AML operational division. These provide more detailed information about functional activities than appears in the AML Annual Report. Files designated as "Corner Committee" and others document the negotiations and politics of transferring the AML from the Army to the Public Health Service and NIH, and the concomitant issues of needing a new building and defining the Library's role as a national library.
