1875-1963
Creator:
Norris, George William, 1875-1965
Extent: 0.8 linear feet (3 boxes)
George William Norris (1975-1963) was a professor of clinical medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and chief of Medical
Service at the Pennsylvania Hospital. After a successful career and a period of overseas service with the Medical Corps during
the first World War, Norris retired to a country house in northeast Pennsylvania. There, Norris was able to dedicate himself
to his greatest interests: photography and family history. This collection contains four scrapbooks (1875-1963) compiled by
Norris which feature many photographic portraits of Norris family members and landscapes of the Pennsylvania countryside.
The scrapbooks also contain background information about Norris’ family and one scrapbook is filled with some of George Norris’
correspondence, certificates of membership to philanthropic and academic societies, and other papers. This collection also
includes a short account of a 1963 Christmas trip to Guatemala.
