This series includes records of events, biographical and historical data, and many visual materials. Much of this material is ephemeral and was originally found in Dr. Penfield and Mrs. Penfield's boxes of memorabilia. The series is divided into 15 subseries, each of which may be grouped into two divisions: general and personal (indicated by addition of WGP to file identifier).
This series contains correspondence between Helen Kermott Penfield and Wilder Graves Penfield, as well as other friends and family between 1920 and 1932.
Series consists of miscellaneous material produced and collected by Dr. Penfield. This series includes art work, notes, and correspondence, as well as Dr. Penfield's academic robes and hats. This includes copies of the French 'Bulletin de l'Académie Royale de medecine', 'Bulletin de l'Académie nationale de medecine' and 3 editions of the Montreal La Lancette Canadienne journal. The series also includes less than 1 cm of photographs (found in file J 13-1), a framed diploma (file J 2-3) and selections for an exhibit from 1991 by William Feindel.
This series contains correspondence between Dr. Penfield and friends and colleagues, as well as social and professional institutions. The series' contents were found at the Montreal Neurological Institute in 2008, and thus, were not included with original correspondence series (Series C) of the Penfield Archive. The records in this series have been catalogued at the item level.
Series consists of a drawer of catalogue cards with information concerning most MNI Fellows from between the institute's opening to the 1970s. Much of this information consists of mailing addresses which were compiled in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and is thus likely no longer accurate. Many of the cards are also accompanied by photographs of the particular Fellow.
This series contains typed drafts and published sermons both written and delivered by Dr. Penfield, as well as published sermons by various Presbyterian/United Church ministers.
This series contains material concerning the "Sussex", an English Channel passenger steamer on which Dr. Penfield was travelling in 1916 when it was hit by a German torpedo.
