Mac Suzuki Photograph Collection (Photograph Collections)
The Mac Suzuki Photograph Collection contains 838 color slides of 35 mm film taken by Mac Suzuki, MD.

Masamichi "Mac" Suzuki was born on October 18, 1918 in Acampo, CA. He received his BA degree from the University of California Berkley and studied medicine at the University of California San Francisco. As an American citizen of Japanese descent, Mac was forced to leave his third year of medical school and placed in an internment camp during WWII. During his time there he served as a camp doctor. He completed his medical degree at Wayne State Medical School in Detroit, MI. He served on the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission (ABCC) from around 1948 to 1953, studying the effects of radiation on fertility in Japan.

In the early 20th Century, Houston had a higher death rate of tuberculosis than the national average with two in 1000 persons dying from the disease in 1910.
The Association was a non-profit, community-driven organization dedicated to engage the people of Houston to control, prevent, and educate the community about tuberculosis. Find out more at San Jacinto Lung Association Records and its finding aid.

William C. Moloney, M.D., Papers (1952-1954) (Photograph Collections)
On November 18, 1946, Harry Truman authorized the National Research Council to establish an organization "to undertake a long range, continuing study of the biological and medical effects of the atomic bomb on man." The result was the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission (Genbaku-Shogai I-inkai). Necessitated by the most cataclysmic event of the century, the breadth, scope and duration of the work of the ABCC has given that institution an unparalleled position in the history of science and of medicine.
Dr. Moloney kept a personal journal, with photographs, for much of his two years with the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission in Japan. Along with other scientists, he studied the biological and medical effects of ionized radiation on the survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombings. In January of 1986, Dr. Moloney donated his journal, correspondence and diary pages to the Harris County Medical Archive, whose collections were later incorporated into the Texas Medical Center Library.
Since 1986, the McGovern Historical Center has solicited and preserved the documents of the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission. This Collection is comprised of manuscripts and other records donated by former members throughout the United States. There are nearly 200 cubic feet of records. The individual collections offer insight; while the entire collection offers a comprehensive view of the attitudes, goals, and activities of the Commission from the late 1940's through its evolution into the Radiation Effects Research Foundation. An interesting component of the ABCC Collection are the photographs. These augment the written records and provide their own historical evidence of the research activities, international interest in the ABCC, and the interactions of the personnel.
