In addition to the above items, Series III. contains materials that document campaigns, spanning from 1902 to 1937, to publicly honor members of the U.S. Army Yellow Fever Commission and those who participated in the commission's experiments.

• copies of Congressional bills and resolutions to honor members of the U.S. Army Yellow Fever Commission and experiment participants;
• and letters, reviews, and other materials relating to the production of Sidney Coe Howard's play,Yellow Jack.

Finally, Series III. also consists of materials that document the history of yellow fever during the nineteenth and early twentieth century. These materials include, but are not limited to the following:
