The first series, Biographical Materials (bulk dates 1969-1972), consists of biographical sketches and press clippings.
The Biographical Materials series is composed primarily of records relating to Schneider's unfinished biography of Crosby which he had tentatively titled Pioneer Woman Neuroscientist. Included are handwritten and typed manuscripts of this biography, arranged chronologically (in relation to Crosby's life), along with other materials related to Schneider's research of this topic. Schneider's biography of Crosby, though unfinished, represents one of the best sources on Crosby's life, both professional and personal. Schneider attempted, as much as was possible, to uncover information about Crosby's personality and character, as well as her scientific endeavors. This clearly distinguishes Schneider's work from other biographies of Crosby published in scientific journals and the like, which tend to focus exclusively on her professional achievements. Also included are typed transcripts of interviews Schneider conducted with friends and colleagues of Crosby to research his biography (an audio cassette of an interview Schneider conducted with Dr. Isabelle Lockhard is located in the Audiovisual Materials series in box 8), along with correspondence and other miscellaneous records related to this project. In addition to the materials related directly to Schneider's biography of Crosby, other records of a biographical nature have also been included in the Biographical Materials series. Among these are bibliographies and curriculum vitae, Anatomy Dept. Personnel files on Crosby, copies of other biographical articles published on Crosby from various sources, records relating to awards and honors received by Crosby, a file of newspaper clippings documenting various achievements by Crosby, memorial letters written by friends and colleagues, and state records.
Since most of the series are mainly evidential to Sunderland's professional life, researchers interested in a broader perspective will find the Biographical Materials of interest, although the documentation is limited a handful of newspaper clippings and photographs, several volumes of travel journals, and papers written in his youth. The series also includes seven folders of personal correspondence -- mainly letters from family and friends while Sunderland was a student at the University of Michigan. A more complete view of the Sunderland family as a whole can be found in the collection of Sunderland-Safford family papers. This collection, which includes the papers of Edson Sunderland's sister, Gertrude Sunderland Safford, includes extensive family correspondence. In addition, researchers should note that there is extensive background information in Alice Sunderland Wethy's A Genealogical-Biographical Compilation of the Sunderland and Broadhead Families (Bentley Historical Library call number DB/2/S958/W539/v.2).
