University of Michigan
The University of Michigan series reflects Robinson's activities with the University of Michigan during the years 1937-1985. The files have been placed in alphabetical order, and then chronologically. Notable within this series are the files relating to Robinson's association with the Rackham Arthritis Research Unit (RARU) materials and his lecture materials.
The RARU materials include correspondence (1937-1950), general materials, personnel files, annual reports (1937-1966), and a slide collection list. These items follow the development of the RARU and Robinson's role in it along with many of his colleagues.
Robinson kept his lecture notes for the courses he taught at the University of Michigan Medical School, at both the graduate and post-graduate levels. These lecture notes are arranged alphabetically. Most are in outline, yet they indicate the form and content of Robinson's lectures. Unfortunately only a few of his lectures are dated.
Other materials in this series include Robinson's role in establishing the Periodic Health Appraisal Unit (PHAU); the Arthritis Center and Clinic materials; Rheumatology Division meeting minutes; and a curriculum module for family practice that Robinson devised for the University of Michigan.
