Administrative information
Arrangement note: Series are numbered consecutively. Box numbers start with 1; folder numbers start with 1 in each box. The series are organized from highest hierarchical level to lowest; from most general to most specific. Items within each series are arranged chronologically, unless noted otherwise. The boxes are numbered in one single numbering scheme starting with 1.
Acquisition information: The bulk of the collection is comprised of two accessions: 2006:067 and 2006:082, both donated by Mercy Regional Medical Center, in May and June of 2006, as part of that hospital's move to its new campus in Grandview, east of the center of Durango.
Processing information: The collection was arranged and described by several Mercy Hospital volunteers under the direction of J. Todd Ellison, Archivist, starting in the summer of 2006 and ongoing. Linda Fargo organized newspaper clippings and made preservation photocopies. Pat Jetton and Beverly Darmour have been identifying, rehousing, arranging and describing the photos in the collection. Bruce Howard, a retired dermatologist, entered data from the early patient ledgers and analyzed that data. Part of Dr. Howard's work was to organize the diagnoses and operations from 1896 to 1913 in accordance with the ICD-9 classification of diagnoses and procedures which is used in hospitals currently, removing the redundancies in the original entries (which are still listed in the Center's database, though).
The online
inventory was produced by Ellison.
