It began as the result of an infantile paralysis epidemic in 1917 that left the affected children without a facility for treatment. Dr. William T. Graham, an orthopaedic surgeon, and Nancy Minor, superintendent of the Instructive Visiting Nurses' Association (IVNA), recognized the need and began a free outpatient clinic in the basement of Graham's office located at 214 East Franklin Street. Within six months, the clinic treated more than 80 patients, yet proved inadequate to assist all in need. Outpatient treatment moved to the dispensary at the Medical College of Virginia (MCV). In 1918, the Virginia General Assembly passed a bill appropriating $20,000 over two years for the treatment of children with disabilities from the entire state. This money funded two wards at MCV for two years, but this was only temporary.","A group of citizens, including Graham, Minor, and Dr. Ennion G. Williams the commissioner of the Virginia State Department of Health, met in June 1919 to discuss a hospital specifically for Virginia children with disabilities from congenital health conditions, accidents, and diseases such as polio. From this meeting grew the Crippled Children's Hospital Association, dedicated to organizing and funding the hospital. Dooley Hospital on Marshall Street became the temporary location until they could finance and build the new hospital. The Woman's Auxiliary formed in 1920 to support the hospital and by 1924, they created a similar group to serve the African American children with disabilities cared for at St. Philip Hospital. Philanthropic groups such as Kappa Delta sorority and the Kiwanis Club also donated time and money to the hospital.","In 1923, the Crippled Children's Hospital Association purchased a house and one acre of land at Brook Road and Sherwood Avenue for use as a convalescent hospital. A bequest from Sallie M. Dooley in 1925 allowed the purchase of additional property adjacent to the Brook Road house for the construction of a 40-bed facility. Architect Henry Baskervill designed the new hospital to resemble the Hospital of the Innocents (Ospedale degli Innocenti) in Florence, Italy complete with the della Robbia medallions, which became the symbol of the hospital. Construction began in 1927 and the hospital opened in 1928.","Services at the hospital grew and changed over the years. From a children's hospital for those with orthopaedic problems it developed into a multi-specialty hospital for all children. In 1980, the facility changed its name to Children's Hospital of Richmond, which reflected its broader mission. The hospital still operates today at its original location on Brook Road with several therapy centers in the area. In 2010, it joined with VCU Health System to form the Children's Hospital of Richmond at VCU.","For additional information on the history of the hospital please see Crippled Children's Hospital: The First Sixty Years,  by Marjorie Branner Adams, 1979. This book is available in the HSL Special Collections \u0026 Archives Reading Room (RD705.5.V82 R522 1979).","This collection contains photographs, newspaper clippings, a magazine, and a promotional booklet for the hospital. The collection provides some insight into the early history and services of the hospital as well as the children who were patients.","The photographs are undated with the exception of one labled 1911 of a female adolescent with scoliosis. This photograph predates the clinic and hospital. The majority of the photographs are of patients and staff at the convalescent hospital located at Brook Road and Sherwood Avenue. This suggests that those photographs date from the mid 1920s as the house used for the convalescent hospital was purchased in 1923.  Several were taken after the hospital was built in 1928. There is one 6.5\" x 4.5\" album and 32 loose pictures.","Also in this collection is a promotional booklet for the hospital from the late 1940s or early 1950s which provides information on the history of the hospital, a listing of the staff and the board of trustees, and an overview of the services provided. There is a 1956 issue of The Angelos of Kappa Delta which includes the history of Kappa Delta Sorority's support of the hospital, a call for continued participation, a photo spread on the hospital, an article about Dr. William T. Graham, and a letter from Karaleen Ingersoll, the hospital administrator, thanking the sorority for it's generosity.","Found also in this collection are newspaper clipping mostly pertaining to the passing of Graham in 1953 and one clipping from 1917 regarding the appointment of Graham as an orthopaedist for the Medical College of Virginia War Unit.","There are no restrictions.","Shelved with the small collections.","VCU Health Sciences Library","Children's Hospital of Richmond at VCU (1928-)","Medical College of Virginia","Graham, William Tate","Ingersoll, Karleen","English"],"collection_title_tesim":["Children's Hospital of Richmond at VCU photographs and publications, 1911/1958"],"collection_ssim":["Children's Hospital of Richmond at VCU photographs and publications, 1911/1958"],"level_ssm":["collection"],"level_ssim":["Collection"],"unitid_ssm":["2013.Feb.26","/repositories/3/resources/29"],"unitid_tesim":["2013.Feb.26","/repositories/3/resources/29"],"repository_ssm":["Virginia Commonwealth University, Cabell Library"],"repository_ssim":["Virginia Commonwealth University, Cabell Library"],"creator_persname_ssim":["Graham, William Tate","Ingersoll, Karleen"],"creator_corpname_ssim":["VCU Health Sciences Library","Children's Hospital of Richmond at VCU (1928-)","Medical College of Virginia"],"creators_ssim":["Graham, William Tate","Ingersoll, Karleen","VCU Health Sciences Library","Children's Hospital of Richmond at VCU (1928-)","Medical College of Virginia"],"access_terms_ssm":["There are no restrictions."],"acqinfo_ssim":["The donor for this collection is unknown."],"access_subjects_ssim":["Hospitals -- History -- Virginia"],"access_subjects_ssm":["Hospitals -- History -- Virginia"],"has_online_content_ssim":["false"],"extent_ssm":["52 Items 1 folder"],"extent_tesim":["52 Items 1 folder"],"date_range_isim":[1911,1912,1913,1914,1915,1916,1917,1918,1919,1920,1921,1922,1923,1924,1925,1926,1927,1928,1929,1930,1931,1932,1933,1934,1935,1936,1937,1938,1939,1940,1941,1942,1943,1944,1945,1946,1947,1948,1949,1950,1951,1952,1953,1954,1955,1956,1957,1958],"accessrestrict_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eCollection is open to research.\u003c/p\u003e  "],"accessrestrict_heading_ssm":["Access Restrictions"],"accessrestrict_tesim":["Collection is open to research."],"arrangement_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eAs this is a small collection there is no discernable arrangement.\u003c/p\u003e  "],"arrangement_heading_ssm":["Arrangement"],"arrangement_tesim":["As this is a small collection there is no discernable arrangement."],"bioghist_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe Children's Hospital of Richmond was first named the Crippled Children's Hospital of Richmond, Virginia.

It began as the result of an infantile paralysis epidemic in 1917 that left the affected children without a facility for treatment. Dr. William T. Graham, an orthopaedic surgeon, and Nancy Minor, superintendent of the Instructive Visiting Nurses' Association (IVNA), recognized the need and began a free outpatient clinic in the basement of Graham's office located at 214 East Franklin Street. Within six months, the clinic treated more than 80 patients, yet proved inadequate to assist all in need. Outpatient treatment moved to the dispensary at the Medical College of Virginia (MCV). In 1918, the Virginia General Assembly passed a bill appropriating $20,000 over two years for the treatment of children with disabilities from the entire state. This money funded two wards at MCV for two years, but this was only temporary.","A group of citizens, including Graham, Minor, and Dr. Ennion G. Williams the commissioner of the Virginia State Department of Health, met in June 1919 to discuss a hospital specifically for Virginia children with disabilities from congenital health conditions, accidents, and diseases such as polio. From this meeting grew the Crippled Children's Hospital Association, dedicated to organizing and funding the hospital. Dooley Hospital on Marshall Street became the temporary location until they could finance and build the new hospital. The Woman's Auxiliary formed in 1920 to support the hospital and by 1924, they created a similar group to serve the African American children with disabilities cared for at St. Philip Hospital.

Justice Lewis F. Powell, Jr., George P. Schultz, Paul Trible, and Dr. Peter Pastore are some of the people of note that Dr. Sheppard had correspondences with.Subseries B. contains records from hospitals, medical organizations and associations of Dr. Sheppard's.

These files are also alphabetized by the first word on each file. The files contain research data, which is used to develop his publications and lectures. In many files the development of publications and lectures are well documented through notes and rough drafts. One file may contain everything associated with a certain publication. All the illustrations for these have been removed and placed with the originals for preservation purposes. Subseries B. deals with Dr. Sheppard's historical research, and has been divided into three parts. The first part contains his publication on Dr. Peter Mettauer and the research used to develop that publication. The second part has the reprints of Dr. Joseph A.

The third subseries is the development of the history of ophthalmology in Virginia, which Dr. Sheppard never had a chance to complete and publish. It contains many references and biographical sketches of early doctors in the medical history of Virginia.

Raised in Powhatan County, he attended Fort Union Military Academy and Hampden-Sydney College. He graduated in medicine from the University College of Medicine in 1911. Porter taught at the medical schools of Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania before returning to Richmond. During World War I, Porter served as a member of the cardiovascular unit in Base Hospital 45, a unit made up of doctors from the Medical College of Virginia. After the war, Porter became chief of medical service at Lewis-Gale Hospital in Roanoke. In 1927, after two years abroad, he accepted a position as Professor of Medicine at MCV. He became the first full time medical professor in the school's history and focused the school on teaching and medical research. Porter was a member of many medical societies including the American Medical Association, American Heart Association, and the Medical Society of Virginia. He was Chairman of the Medical Section of the Southern Medical Association in 1935, and served as President of the Richmond Academy of Medicine in 1941. He consulted regularly with the Veterans Administration and the Surgeon General of the Army. In 1956, after 29 years, Porter retired. He was elected emeritus professor, and the medical school established the William Branch Porter Professorship in Medicine that same year. An award of a silver plated stethoscope, similar to one given to Porter by Dr. William Osler, is given each year to the top medical school student in internal medicine.","The collection is limited to committee notes from the Academic Privileges and Admissions Committees as well as small amounts of correspondence and reprints of papers.
