The photographs folder contains images of Southwick speaking at a presentation in 1971.

The Manuscripts and Publication Records series (1967-1994, 0.3 linear feet) contains a sample of Arthur Southwick's writings and accompanying documentation. The majority of the Publications Series documents the creation and revisions of Southwick's notable book Law of Hospital and Health Care Administration. It includes drafts, notes, correspondence, reviews, and publicity. About half of the material describes Southwick's original book and additional editions. However, additional folders describe an accompanying manual, Law of Hospital and Health Care Administration: Cases and Materials, compiled by J. Stuart Showalter and Bernard D. Reams, Jr., based on Southwick's original text. These folders contain correspondence between the editors and Southwick as well as Southwick's notes and responses to the manual. The Medical Staff Privileges folder holds many articles, both published and manuscript copies, regarding the rights and responsibilities of physicians and hospitals.
