4.5 linear feet

Rheumatologist and founder of the University of Michigan Turner Geriatric Clinic; director of the Rackham Arthritis Research Unit and chief of the Arthritis Division. Records relating to the development of gerontological medicine at the University of Michigan and the founding of the Turner Geriatric Clinic; includes biographical material, correspondence, planning records, name files, and topical files relating to gerontology and rheumatic diseases.

The Ivan Duff papers consist of four and one-half linear feet of records dating from 1947 to 1994, although the bulk of the coverage is from the 1970s. The strength of the collection is the documentation of the development of gerontological medicine at the University of Michigan, particularly the founding of the Turner Geriatric Clinic in 1977. There is very little in this collection, however, relating to Duff's prior activities or to the Rackham Arthritis Research Unit which he directed from 1953 until 1969 (for information on this unit researchers should consult the separate record groups, Rackham Arthritis Unit and the University of Michigan Department of Internal Medicine).
