Biographical NoteReturn to Top

Dr. Milton deVries Brunkow was born in Portland, Oregon, on July 2, 1914. He attended Reed College and during his junior year, began studies simultaneously at the University of Oregon Medical School. He graduated from UOMS in 1939. He served his residency at the Children's Hospital of the East Bay in Oakland California and served in the Army Air Corp Medical Corp. In 1946, he began his 33 year career as a Portland General practitioner, first at Emmanuel Hospital and then at Holladay Park Hospital.

Content DescriptionReturn to Top

The bulk of the materials are class notes, examinations, manuscripts, case histories and reports made by Dr. Brunkow as a student and intern of Reed College and the University of Oregon Medical School. There are also a few items of correspondence. Included are War Department Medical Field manuals, 1941-1942, school textbooks: A Textbook of Pathology, by W. G. MacCallam, 1936, and Principals of Human Physiology, by C. Lovatt Evans, 1936, and a small box of instruments and lab slides.

The oversize visual aids portion of this collection (Series II: Artifacts) appears to be the catch-all location for anatomical drawings (many by UOMS in-house graphic artist Clarice Ashworth); photograpic prints; strip negatives; and radiographs. Most of these contain patient information. Many of the drawings are from his class days, while the bulk of the photographs were taken as part of Dr. Brunkow's practice.
