Ontario Medical Association section on neurology and psychiatry files 6. Toronto General Hospital and Wellesley Hospital files 7. Education of medical students at Toronto General Hospital files The accrual to the fonds received in 1998 is arranged in nine series: 1. Research and personal interest articles and speeches (c) 2.

Fonds reflects the various administrative, research, diagnostic, and personal activities of Dr. Walters, as well as the development of psychiatric diagnosis, particularly in regard to the mental health of soldiers and the effects of war-related stress. See also the first and second series of the 1998 accrual to this fonds (i.e., “Research and personal interest articles and speeches” and “Publications, reports, speeches, and lecture materials”) for similar and related materials. See also the fifth series of the 1998 accrual to this fonds (i.e., “Patient case files”) for similar and related materials. Please note that the materials from this series have been physically and intellectually integrated with the materials of the second series of the original accessions of this fonds. This is due to an administrative oversight in which two boxes of materials from the 1998 accrual were misplaced until partway through the re-processing of the fonds in 2005. All other materials from the 1998 accrual have been arranged physically and intellectually in separate series as described above. Also due to this administrative error, there is some overlap in materials between this series and the “Publications, reports, speeches, and lecture materials” series (1998 accrual, series number two). See also the “Basingstoke, England, Neurological and Plastic Surgery Hospital files” series from the original accessions for this fonds (series number three).
