This material includes records related to his various history research projects including his N.S.

Personal and family records

This series contains personal and family records of various kinds. Examples include correspondence, school and university study notes, official and unofficial documents, financial records, and photographs.

Medical research records

This series consists of Dr. Segall's medical research records, lecture notes, presentations, publications, and related material. While wide-ranging, the subject matter of these various kinds of materials often intersects. For example, his research records often influenced his publications and were reflected through his lectures. This interconnectivity may explain why such different forms of records were stored together. However, there are also many examples of files and boxes within the series where there are no obvious interconnections between different records.

Office files

This series consists of alphabetically ordered office files, mostly from the 1980s. The files contain material concerning various medical and history of medicine associations. There are also a small number of files on various colleagues and patients. These files do not include patient files with case histories.

Miscellaneous patient records

This series consists of patient records which are not arranged as part of a larger set of patient files. The reason(s) why these records were separated from the patient records in series A through F, H, or L is/are not known.
