- Description:
- The Enoch Callaway, Jr., papers focus mainly on Dr. Callaway's medical career and his lifelong battle against cancer. The first series of this collection contains correspondence (1906-1975), the bulk of which deals with Dr. Callaway's connection with various cancer and medical organizations. The correspondence after September 26, 1961, is to Mrs. Callaway and is mostly personal letters. The correspondence is arranged chronologically. Greeting cards (such as Christmas cards and sympathy cards) and postcards are in separate folders. The second series is arranged alphabetically by subject. Most of it contains speeches, papers, and research notes of Dr. Callaway relating to his work on cancer. Documents (mainly programs) relating to various medical organizations (primarily American Cancer Society and Medical Association of Georgia) that Dr. Callaway belonged to are also numerous. A file of clippings from magazines and newspapers focus on Dr. Callaway's medical career. Several medical journals are also included, which contain articles written by or mentioning Dr. Callaway. Also included are some of the many awards that Dr. Callaway received in his lifetime. There are three folders of documents in the second series relating to Dr. Callaway's naval career in World War I (1917-1919). Personal material in this collection includes membership cards of the many organizations with which Dr. Callaway was involved and Dr. Callaway's pilot logbook. Two files of magazine and newspaper clippings focus on the Callaway family and memorials of Dr. Callaway. The Episcopal church file in this collection contains a pictorial church directory (undated) from St. Mark's, and several church bulletins from St. Mark's and other churches where Dr. Callaway spoke. A separate folder contains a collection of Dr. Callaway's sermons, which were collected to be published as a book. (It is not known if they were ever published) The artifacts in the third series relate solely to Dr. Callaway. A medal and belt buckle appear to be from Dr. Callaway's days in the Navy. The buckeyes and metal toothpick may also be from this era. The rest of the objects relate to the doctor's medical career and his research on cancer. These include part of his stethoscope, 2 rubber signature stamps, name tags from medical organizations, and awards from medical groups. The photographs and negatives associated with this collection can be divided into two categories: those depicting people and places with which Dr. Callaway was involved and those relating to the field of medicine. The medical photographs and negatives (undated) are drawings of procedural techniques, sketches of an instrument that Dr. Callaway invented, and photographs of that instrument. The rest of the photographs and negatives date from 1935 to 1961 with over half of them identified. All but one of the photographs are in black and white. The folder of audio recordings contains 16 seven-inch discs on which is recorded speeches from the formal opening of the West Georgia Cancer Clinic in 1949. This folder also contains 4 seven-inch discs, 2 six-inch discs, and 1 five-inch disc on which are recorded speeches by Dr. Callaway between September 13-26, 1951. These recordings were done either for or in association with the Medical Association of Georgia.
