Abstract:
Records of autopsies performed on patients who died at Presbyterian Hospital, 1874-1911, 1917-1919. Records 1874-1911 are handwritten and composed in narrative form, while later records are typed and use a pre-printed form. Microscopic examination begins to appear regularly in the mid-1880s.
Volumes 1 and 12 overlap chronologically but do not cover the same cases. Most volumes include indices for both decedent's name and cause of death.
