The Ralph Waldo Gerard papers consist primarily of the writings of Ralph Gerard from 1922 through 1973. The papers were received by the University of Michigan Mental Health Research Institute (MHRI) from James W. Gerard and were subsequently transferred to the University of Michigan archives at the Bentley Historical Library. When the papers were received they were in chronological order with evidence that most individual articles had been disbound from bound volumes. The collection is arranged into three series: Biographical Material, Bibliography, and Writings.
The Bibliography series includes a bibliography with complete citations covering Gerard's writings from 1922 through 1973. This bibliography appears to have been created by Ralph Waldo Gerard and is organized into genres of writings such as "Scientific Reviews," "Books," and "Popular Science and Lectures" and subject areas such as "Nerve-Heat and Chemistry" and "Nerve-Electrical." A chronological list of writings, created by MHRI staff, serves as a means of accessing the writings. Also included is a draft introduction and table of contents to what was once the bound compilation of writings.
