COLLECTION DESCRIPTION

The Dr. Thomas Terrell Jackson Papers, (1893-1922), are divided into three series: 1) personal papers, 2) professional papers and 3) miscellaneous papers. The personal papers consist mainly of letters from Dr. Jackson to his wife, Mamie Davis Jackson, and a much smaller number of letters from Mrs. Jackson to her husband and members of her family. Two particularly interesting groups of letters concern Dr. Jackson's service with the United States Army as a physician in Cuba and the Philippine Islands from 1899-1901 and his later service during the year 1918 with the United States Army.

The professional papers deal mostly with Dr. Jackson's activities in professional organizations and his business interests outside the medical profession. The miscellaneous papers contain military orders, photographs, pension file, autograph book, certificates, and clippings. Both the personal and professional papers are arranged in chronological order.

The papers of Dr. Thomas Terrell Jackson (1868-1919) were presented to the Archives and Manuscripts Department of the Moody Medical Library of the University of Texas Medical Branch by Dr. Truman G. Blocker in behalf of Dr. Jackson's niece, Mrs. Terrell Maverick Webb. The papers were received from Dr. Blocker on October 25, 1977.

The collection occupies 1.67 linear feet of shelf space and is contained in four manuscript boxes and one oversize folder (Map Case 2).
