Josiah C. Trent papers, 1930-1957.

Contains correspondence, patient files, and subject files from the medical office of Dr. Josiah C. Trent. The bulk of the material documents Dr. Trent's activities and publications as surgeon. 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; 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.
