Hyman Morrison papers, 1899-1970 (inclusive) 1920-1963 (bulk).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/698941494

Papers reflect Hyman Morrison's work as a physician, researcher, and active member of the Jewish community in Boston, Massachusetts. The bulk of the collection consists of correspondence related to Morrison's activities with Zionist organizations and his interest in researching nineteenth century physicians. Morrison was involved in fundraising efforts for various Zionist and medical groups, primarily the American Jewish Physicians' Committee and, later, the American Physicians' Fellowship Committee of the Israel Medical Association. He was a valued contact for refugee groups trying to place Jewish doctors and medical personnel during the 1930s and 1940s, and he helped to raise funds for the Medical School of Hebrew University in Jerusalem and, as a trustee, for the Hebrew Teachers' College in Brookline, Massachusetts. In honor of his sixtieth birthday, friends, patients, and colleagues in the Boston area raised funds to create and name a laboratory at Hebrew University in Morrison's honor.
