Includes some papers from his widow Henrietta Banting (d. 1976). 1908-1976. Extent: 63 boxes (approx. 8 metres) Part of the collection was deposited in the Library in 1957 by the “Committee concerned with the Banting Memorabilia”, which had been set up after the death of Banting in 1941. These materials included papers from Banting’s office. At the same time the books found in his office (largely scientific and medical texts and journals) were also deposited in the University Library. These now form a separate collection in the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library. The remainder of the collection was bequeathed to the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library by Banting’s widow, Dr. Henrietta Banting, in 1976. This part of the collection included materials collected by Henrietta Banting for her projected biography of F.G. Banting, as well as correspondence and memorabilia relating to her won career.

  • “Our Objective Wasn't to Belittle People's Behavior”: The
    FOY, MARJORIE ELVIN, Ph.D. “Our Objective Wasn’t to Belittle People’s Behavior”: The History of Gestational Diabetes, 1921-1991. (2013) Directed by Charles Bolton. 298 pp. The emergence of the disease concept of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus during the late twentieth century was a product of collaborative efforts between physicians, medical researchers, businesses, and government agencies. This work is fundamentally an institutional history of medicine, situated in three specific genres within the field: disease creation studies, the examination of U.S. public health, and healthcare consumer history. This work traces changes in scientific and medical views, as well as the broader shift in how diseases are defined as that process moved out of the medical clinic and research lab into the halls of policy makers and government agencies. Scientific discovery and understanding emanated from the work of medical researchers, but the post-World War II era in the United States saw government agencies and healthcare businesses gain important roles in defining diseases and in creating consumer identities for patients. This was especially visible with gestational diabetes because many of the women who made up the rising numbers of new cases in the second half of the twentieth century came from lower-income groups who accessed their healthcare through government-subsidized programs like Medicaid. Through a range of historical sources, I examine the development of this dynamic relationship between medical knowledge and practice; business ideologies and approaches in an expanding healthcare market; and government policy on healthcare. “OUR OBJECTIVE WASN’T TO BELITTLE PEOPLE’S BEHAVIOR” THE HISTORY OF GESTATIONAL DIABETES, 1921-1991 by Marjorie Elvin Foy A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Greensboro 2013 Approved by Dr.

  • Introduction 1
    Shaping Research Frontiers: The Alberta Heritage Foundation for Medical Research, 1980-2005 Robynne Rogers Healey, PhD Carolee Pollock, PhD Julian Martin, PhD ©2005 Acknowledgements This project could not have been completed without the assistance of a great many people who deserve thanks. Primary sources form the basis of the historian’s craft; those who keep and care for them play a key role in the stories historians can tell. Thanks go first to those who provided us access to the documents. Kathleen Thurber, Director of Communications at AHFMR, provided access to the Foundation’s archival materials and workspace and graciously answered many questions. Liza Chan, the Foundation’s librarian, was also helpful. Diana Barry, Secretary to the President, and Marj Weber, Executive Assistant to the President, made the research experience at AHFMR very pleasant. They tolerated our presence in the presidential suite, answered numerous questions, retrieved documents that we could not find, supplied lists of names, and remained cheerful the entire time! Raymond Frogner at the University of Alberta Archives and Lisa Atkinson at the University of Calgary Archives helped us find documents that told the “other side” of the Foundation story. Very importantly for this project, a number of very busy people generously gave of their time to be interviewed. These interviews were absolutely crucial to our understanding of the documents and told us much more than they ever could. We appreciate the frankness with which these people approached the interview process. Thanks go to: Dr. Judy Birdsell, Dr. Ann Casebeer, Dr. John Colter, Sandy Doze, Dr. Brad Hagen, Dr.
