The collection contains public health surveys by Hiscock and others; some correspondence; materials related to Hiscock's activities in Yale-in-China and the World Health Assembly; materials on Hiscock's awards; photographs and memorabilia on the dedication of the Ira V. Hiscock Library; and memorabilia that were to be assembled in scrapbooks, especially from the period after his retirement.
The two documents may not be related but both are about the History of public health at Yale. Neither was dated but Hiscock much later guessed at dates. The second document was about how the building for Epidemiology and Public Health came about.
