Benjamin Sacks manuscript collection, 1921-1971 [manuscript].

Original order is unknown. This collection has been re-processed and weeded of non-manuscript materials, miscellaneous research notes, and other documents that are now embedded within the Sacks Collection of the American West. Folder titles largely reflect the originals. Where possible, documents are arranged chronologically within each folder. Sacks' personal correspondence and writings span 50 years representing various phases of his professional life - physician, pathologist and medical researcher; screen consultant and script writer; historian. Very little biographical material remains. Background notes for Sacks' historical writings are extensive. The Bert Fireman correspondence is voluminous providing lengthy discussions of discoveries found on numerous research trips. See the Bert Fireman Collection.
