Description
This collection consists of some correspondence and an unpublished 345
page typescript of a history of medical practice in San Joaquin County
(1847-c1947). The history contains photographs and biographies of practitioners
and buildings. Barnes apparently compiled and wrote "Doctors" over many years,
probably beginning during the 1930s.
