Born in Richmond, Virginia, Pollak was a nationally recognized painter whose art works have been exhibited in institutions such as the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, the Museum of Fine Art in Boston, and the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, D. C. More importantly, Pollak is credited with the introduction of modern art to Richmond.","Born August 13th, 1899, Pollak graduated from Westhampton College of the University of Richmond. In 1920 she was accepted at the Art Students League of New York, and with the support of Dr. Orie Latham Hatcher, who helped her get a tuition scholarship, she was able to continue her work at the League after graduating from Westhampton in 1921. During Pollak's stay in New York, one of her drawings was awarded the first prize at the Studio club of New York (1926). She continued her training with post-graduate work at the Fogg Museum of Harvard University, and later she studied at the Hans Hoffmann School of Painting in Provincetown, Massachusetts.","In 1928 Pollak became the first full time art teacher at Richmond Professional Institute (RPI), at that time a division of William and Mary College. Two years later she also helped start an art program at Westhampton College. In 1935 she began teaching full time at RPI and devoted much of her other time to her own work. A year after RPI merged in 1968 with the Medical College of Virginia to become Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), Pollak retired from the school. In 1971, the newly completed fine arts building on what is now the Monroe Park campus of VCU was named in her honor. Her forty-one year teaching career influenced generations of Virginia artists.","A noted Virginia artist with paintings in the permanent collections of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, the University of Virginia, Mary Baldwin College, and in numerous private collections, Pollak's paintings are part of the Permanent Research Collection at Virginia Commonwealth University's Anderson Gallery.

Born in Richmond, Virginia, Pollak was a nationally recognized painter whose art works have been exhibited in institutions such as the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, the Museum of Fine Art in Boston, and the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, D. C. More importantly, Pollak is credited with the introduction of modern art to Richmond.","Born August 13th, 1899, Pollak graduated from Westhampton College of the University of Richmond. In 1920 she was accepted at the Art Students League of New York, and with the support of Dr. Orie Latham Hatcher, who helped her get a tuition scholarship, she was able to continue her work at the League after graduating from Westhampton in 1921. During Pollak's stay in New York, one of her drawings was awarded the first prize at the Studio club of New York (1926). She continued her training with post-graduate work at the Fogg Museum of Harvard University, and later she studied at the Hans Hoffmann School of Painting in Provincetown, Massachusetts.","In 1928 Pollak became the first full time art teacher at Richmond Professional Institute (RPI), at that time a division of William and Mary College. Two years later she also helped start an art program at Westhampton College. In 1935 she began teaching full time at RPI and devoted much of her other time to her own work. A year after RPI merged in 1968 with the Medical College of Virginia to become Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), Pollak retired from the school. In 1971, the newly completed fine arts building on what is now the Monroe Park campus of VCU was named in her honor. Her forty-one year teaching career influenced generations of Virginia artists.","A noted Virginia artist with paintings in the permanent collections of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, the University of Virginia, Mary Baldwin College, and in numerous private collections, Pollak's paintings are part of the Permanent Research Collection at Virginia Commonwealth University's Anderson Gallery. She died at the age of 103 on September 18th, 2002.","Theresa Pollak papers","\nChloe Lang and Tom Leback also donated artwork by Theresa Pollak, which is part of the VCU Libraries Anderson Gallery collection.\n","List of artwork by Theresa Pollak donated by Lang and Leback in the Anderson Gallery collection: Accession 2003.2.1  Untitled (Garden) (1979), pen and ink drawing on paper Accession 2003.2.2 Capon Springs (1964) pastel drawing on paper  Accession 2012.1.1  Rehearsal II (1962) pencil drawing on paper  Accession 2012.1.2 Puilly, Switzerland (1962) pen and ink drawing on paper Accession 2012.1.3 Untitled (Flowers) (1973) pen and ink drawing on paper Accession 2012.1.4 Untitled (Girl) (1970) pen and ink drawing on paper Accession 2012.1.5 Untitled (Flute Player) (1969) pen and ink drawing on paper Accession 2012.1.6 Fran with Baby Linda at Christmas (1970) pen and ink drawing on paper M 581 Untitled (Chloe Lang) (undated) pastel drawing on paper","Collection contains personal correspondence from Theresa Pollak to Tom Leback and Chloe Lang Leback, photos, fabric patches, collected news clippings about Theresa Pollak, and two copies of the book European Drawings by Theresa Pollak.

Shaffer was a white male who was raised and attended school in rural West Virginia where he first developed an interest in photography, kindled by a gift of an old camera from his grandmother. He presented papers on photography twice at the West Virginia Science Academy where he made the acquaintance of a physician who invited the young Shaffer to move to Philippi, West Virginia to complete high school and learned about clinical photography. ","Following his high school graduation, Shaffer spent one year at Alderson Broaddus College in Philippi. He enlisted in the United States Army and was posted at the Army Medical Museum where he received further training in photography. His basic training as a medical corpsman took place at Camp Picket and he was assigned to the 3rd Detachment, Medical Museum and Arts Service. Initially deployed to Casablanca in August of 1943, Shaffer spent time in North Africa, Italy, and Germany where he witnessed and photographed the liberation of the Dachau concentration camp and arrived in Berlin just following the German surrender. Shaffer was honorably discharged from the Army on November 16, 1945 and returned to Washington, D.C. where he worked at the Armed Force Institute of Pathology helping to identify the many photographs and films he made while overseas. He also continued his education at George Washington University. ","On January 1, 1947 Shaffer started his affiliation with the Medical College of Virginia (MCV) as Director of Visual Education. This new department would provide photography and art illustrations for the School of Medicine.  During his 37-year tenure Shaffer built a large department responsible for audiovisual services and instructional support. At Shaffer's suggestion the School of Dentistry introduced closed circuit television in 1953, one of the first institutions in the United States to use this technology in educating dental students. As a result of his success in his role as director, the MCV Board of Visitors appointed him as an assistant professor in 1966. He subsequently rose through the ranks to full profession in 1979 in spite of the fact that he did not earn a college degree.","Shaffer was active professionally in a number of photography, educational, and biomedical communications organizations. He was a founder and charter member of the Health Sciences Communications Association and Association of Medical Television Broadcasters. Shaffer served in leadership roles in both organizations. During the last fifteen years of his career at MCV and then Virginia Commonwealth University, he consulted extensively with medical institutions in the United States and abroad. He worked with both the World Health Organization and Pan American Health Organization advising about audio-visual services and instruction. His department was considered by many as the model for supporting health sciences education. His consulting took him to Mexico, Cuba, the Soviet Union, Brazil, and other countries.","Early in his career Shaffer developed an interest in aviation possibly a result of his experiences in the military during World War II. He became a skilled pilot and frequently flew planes over MCV to capture aerial images illustrating the physical growth of the institution. Shaffer retired in 1984 and remained in Richmond for some years while serving on local airport advisory boards. He later relocated to Green Valley Arizona where he passed away on January 25, 2021. Shafer and his wife of 67 years, Edith, had two sons. ","This collection consists of materials retained by Melvin C. Shaffer from his tenure at the Medical College of Virginia (MCV) and later donated to Virginia Commonwealth University.

There is correspondence related to his position including his hiring in 1947 and some activities in Visual Education but no extensive documentation related to the operation of his department. ","The collection includes correspondence, 1947-1987, certificates, publications, photographs, newspaper clippings, and other printed materials related to his work. There are photographs of the television system Shaffer developed in the School of Dentistry to support dental education, one of the first in the United States. The images show the television studio, equipment, classroom,  and operatory in the School of Dentistry. The collection also includes photographs of Shaffer and one image Shaffer captured of the Dalai Lama. There are patent documents related to the \"Shaffer Bronchoscope,\" an instrument used for diagnosis, treatment, and photography of the trachea bronchial tree. Shaffer collaborated with Dr. William E. Pembleton on its development. The United State Patent office issued Shaffer letters patent for the device in 1955. Shaffer designated the Medical College of Virginia Foundation as the recipeint of commissions from the manufacture of the instrument. Other documents of note are Dr. William T. Sanger's plan for an academic village at MCV and the organization charts, position descriptions, and background information related to the creation of University Libraries and Visual Education Services at VCU in 1981.

Shaffer was a white male who was raised and attended school in rural West Virginia where he first developed an interest in photography, kindled by a gift of an old camera from his grandmother. He presented papers on photography twice at the West Virginia Science Academy where he made the acquaintance of a physician who invited the young Shaffer to move to Philippi, West Virginia to complete high school and learned about clinical photography. ","Following his high school graduation, Shaffer spent one year at Alderson Broaddus College in Philippi. He enlisted in the United States Army and was posted at the Army Medical Museum where he received further training in photography. His basic training as a medical corpsman took place at Camp Picket and he was assigned to the 3rd Detachment, Medical Museum and Arts Service. Initially deployed to Casablanca in August of 1943, Shaffer spent time in North Africa, Italy, and Germany where he witnessed and photographed the liberation of the Dachau concentration camp and arrived in Berlin just following the German surrender. Shaffer was honorably discharged from the Army on November 16, 1945 and returned to Washington, D.C. where he worked at the Armed Force Institute of Pathology helping to identify the many photographs and films he made while overseas. He also continued his education at George Washington University. ","On January 1, 1947 Shaffer started his affiliation with the Medical College of Virginia (MCV) as Director of Visual Education. This new department would provide photography and art illustrations for the School of Medicine.  During his 37-year tenure Shaffer built a large department responsible for audiovisual services and instructional support. At Shaffer's suggestion the School of Dentistry introduced closed circuit television in 1953, one of the first institutions in the United States to use this technology in educating dental students. As a result of his success in his role as director, the MCV Board of Visitors appointed him as an assistant professor in 1966. He subsequently rose through the ranks to full profession in 1979 in spite of the fact that he did not earn a college degree.","Shaffer was active professionally in a number of photography, educational, and biomedical communications organizations. He was a founder and charter member of the Health Sciences Communications Association and Association of Medical Television Broadcasters. Shaffer served in leadership roles in both organizations. During the last fifteen years of his career at MCV and then Virginia Commonwealth University, he consulted extensively with medical institutions in the United States and abroad. He worked with both the World Health Organization and Pan American Health Organization advising about audio-visual services and instruction. His department was considered by many as the model for supporting health sciences education. His consulting took him to Mexico, Cuba, the Soviet Union, Brazil, and other countries.","Early in his career Shaffer developed an interest in aviation possibly a result of his experiences in the military during World War II. He became a skilled pilot and frequently flew planes over MCV to capture aerial images illustrating the physical growth of the institution. Shaffer retired in 1984 and remained in Richmond for some years while serving on local airport advisory boards. He later relocated to Green Valley Arizona where he passed away on January 25, 2021. Shafer and his wife of 67 years, Edith, had two sons. ","This collection consists of materials retained by Melvin C.

","Dr. Joseph Lyon Miller, son of James Henderson Miller and Finetta Ann Lyons Miller, was born at Beech Hill in Mason County, West Virginia on 10 October 1875. Educated locally before enrolling at Barboursville College in neighboring Cabell County, Miller also attended the University of Nashville prior to moving east in September of 1897 for medical school. Miller completed the three-year program at the University College of Medicine in 1900. Following graduation, he accepted a position as assistant to the chief surgeon and medical director of the Davis Coal and Coke Company.  Around 1904, he moved to Ashland, Kentucky and established a private medical practice for 18 months before returning to Thomas, West Virginia. Miller resumed his association with Davis Coal and Coke and became medical director in his own right in 1917. In this same period, he also held the role of surgeon for the Western Maryland Railroad. During World War I, Miller served in the U.S. Volunteer Medical Corps as the medical director for mine operations in his area of West Virginia.","Miller married Pamelia Dorcas Hampton of Ashland, Kentucky on 3 June 1902 and the couple had three children: twin boys born in 1903 and a son born in 1906. This son, John Hampton Miller would follow his father into medicine and graduate from the Medical College of Virginia in 1932. ","An active member of his community, Miller served as a member of the town council, as mayor of Thomas, and as president of the local board of health. He was a 32nd degree Mason. Within organized medicine, Miller remained active with the local medical organization, the West Virginia Medical Society, and the Southern Medical Association. His contributions to the medical literature consisted primarily of historical works, his major hobby and passion. ","Early in his career, he began publishing in state historical publications and was widely known for his local history and genealogical work. He published several book-length genealogies that remain valuable today. Miller's medical practice provided him with the discretionary income to build a historical library related to the history of Western medicine. Over the years, he built a significant collection by establishing relationships with rare book dealers in Europe and by making purchases without ever leaving the United States. In 1932, Miller donated this valuable collection of over 6,000 books, prints and manuscript items to the Richmond Academy of Medicine after it had constructed a permanent home with an appropriate library. Miller continued collecting, writing, and researching after relinquishing his collection to the Academy. He donated other books, manuscripts, and images to various historical and medical libraries across the southeast. In 1930, the Medical College of Virginia honored him by conferring the doctor of letters degree.","Miller died on 5 January 1957 and is buried in his wife's family plot in the Ashland Cemetery, Ashland, Kentucky. ","Joseph Lyon Miller donated his collection of books, prints, and manuscripts to the Richmond Academy of Medicine in 1932. The collection remained in the Richmond Academy of Medicine Building until May of 1988, when it was placed on long-term loan at the Virginia Historical Society. In 2021, Virginia Commonwealth University purchased the collection from the Richmond Academy of Medicine and moved it from the Virginia Museum of History and Culture (former Virginia Historical Society) to VCU.","Upon receipt of the collection VCU SCA staff inventoried and rehoused the collection. They removed acidic backing and enclosures when possible and unframed the silhouettes and other items for preservation purposes.","When on loan to the Virginia Historical Society, the staff assigned the accession number, 2003.300, to the print collection, and numbered each individual item (e.g., 2003.300.1, 2003.300.2, etc.). The staff at VCU retained the individual item number assigned by the VHS and kept the physical collection in the original numeric order. Prints are housed in groups of 25 per folder. Any oversized prints are stored in large print boxes, and their location is noted on an item removed list in the original folder. To facilitate easier access, the finding aid contents list is arranged alphabetically. There are a small number of prints without an item number. These were either unaccessioned framed items or were part of a portfolio labeled \"Holland, Belgium, Norway, Sweden\" that were never individually numbered.","The Richmond Academy of Medicine Joseph Lyon Miller Collection of prints consists of engravings, lithographs, photographs, prints, and silhouettes dating from the 17th to 20th centuries that are related to the history of medicine. Many of the items were initially included in publications while others were issued as individual prints. The highlight of the collection is the silhouettes of American and British physicians. These silhouette portraits were cut from life and date from 1750 to 1850. A number of prominent silhouettists are represented including Charles Wilson Peale, William H. Brown, and Auguste Edouart. ","The print collection includes likenesses of physicians from the United States, Great Britian, and western Euopean countries. There is also a small section of prints of Greek, Roman, and Islamic physicians. The collection is a good source for studying perceptions of medicine in the 17th and 18th centuries in particular. The artists' selection of iconography is varied and often more interesting than the individual depicted in the print. The photograph section includes a number of rarer images of Virginia physicians, some photographs of painted portraits and others photographic copies of original images.

In 1932, Miller donated this valuable collection of over 6,000 books, prints and manuscript items to the Richmond Academy of Medicine after it had constructed a permanent home with an appropriate library. Miller continued collecting, writing, and researching after relinquishing his collection to the Academy. He donated other books, manuscripts, and images to various historical and medical libraries across the southeast. In 1930, the Medical College of Virginia honored him by conferring the doctor of letters degree.","Miller died on 5 January 1957 and is buried in his wife's family plot in the Ashland Cemetery, Ashland, Kentucky.
