Included are doctors, nurses, technicians, allied health professionals, social workers, administrators, students, support staff, and others. While most portraits are of people associated with Hopkins, the collection also encompasses non-Hopkins people significant to medical history, e.g. Marie Curie. Photos depicting individuals engaged in some activity, or in groups of more than two or three, are generally found elsewhere in the collection. For example, William Osler on grand rounds is filed with Educational Activities. J. Whitridge Williams at work in the Dean's office is filed with Administration.
Many portraits are in the personal papers collections.
For example, the Kelly Papers include portraits not only of Kelly but also of John G. Clarke, Harvey Cushing, and others. See the inventory for each of the pertinent personal papers collections.
