Health and hospital resources files from the Adjutant General's Office, 1917.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/79039913

The series consists of correspondence, memoranda, lists and reports, census data, and some bulletins and newspaper clippings on work undertaken by the State Defense Council to inventory and apply the state's medical resources to aid troop mobilization and the casualties of war. Internal evidence in the series suggests that these files were kept in the Adjutant General's office. Correspondence dates to September of 1917, which marks the ending tenure of Louis W. Stotesbury as Adjutant General. Upon Stotesbury's resignation, Charles H. Sherrill became Adjutant General. As is reflected in the series, the Division of Health and Hospitals cooperated with the Adjutant General's office as well as the state Department of Health.

It is unclear exactly how these volumes came into the State's possession. They may have been forwarded to the Adjutant General who in turn transferred them to the State Library; the State Library then transferred the volumes to the State Archives in the spring of 1978. A second possibility is that the volumes could have been donated to the Bureau of Military Statistics. In 1911 and 1912 the Adjutant General's Office transferred a large number of items collected by the bureau to the State Library...
