Correspondence/Subject

Subseries consists of subject files of correspondence (C/S = Correspondence/Subject). Most of these files were active up until Dr. Penfield's death and are largely grouped by subject. They may extend over a number of years but seem to indicate a continuing interest on the part of Dr. Penfield.

Correspondence/Domestic

Sub-series includes all of Dr. Penfield's "correspondence-domestic", or personal correspondence, which was taken mostly from his office at the Montreal Neurological Institute.

This sub-series includes material which Dr. Penfield had collected before arriving at McGill in 1928. In particular, it includes correspondence between Dr. Penfield and his wife, Helen Kermott Penfield.

Administration/Neuro

Files which are associated with administration of the MNI, but which contain personal materials and records that belonged to Dr. Penfield.

Sub-series consists of general correspondence, essentially inactive files kept for reference (C/G = Correspondence General).

Writings / Books
