The Ralph E. Peterson Papers contain records documenting the life of Dr. Peterson, his education, and his career as a doctor, both in the U.S. Army and in private practice. Records in this collection include certificates, course notes, medical texts, an obituary, and orthopedic anatomical models. The focus of this collection is likely the anatomical models, but Peterson’s accomplishments are highlighted in his certificates and learning of his devoted military service.
