Infectious Disease Medicine

The Ernest A. Meyer papers, dating from 1921-2009, includes research notebooks, correspondence, personal ephemera, and audiovisual recordings from OHSU Professor Emeritus Dr. Ernest Alan Meyer, DSc, who taught in the Microbiology and Immunology Department beginning 1958. This collection covers material both from Dr. Meyer’s own research as a student through his more advanced studies as a professor as well as research of his students.

This collection includes some of the earliest writings on what would come to be called Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever along with pictures of the lab where a serum was developed to treat the disease.
