Texas Medical Center Photograph Collection

The Texas Medical Center (TMC) Photograph Collection contains photographic materials that document the growth and development of the TMC from the 1930s to 1980s. The Texas Medical Center is a comprehensive medical community located south of downtown Houston.

The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center is among the top-ranked cancer hospitals in the country. It was proposed by Horace Wilkins, Col. William Bates, and John H. Freeman, the trustees of the M.D. Anderson Foundation. It was officially incorporated in 1946 and Bertner was appointed president. The Anderson Foundation made grants to Methodist Hospital, Shriners Hospital for Crippled Children, St. Luke’s Episcopal Hospital, Texas Children’s Hospital, a new building for Hermann Hospital, and for a library.

The Texas Medical Center grew quickly, provided a home for innovators such as heart surgeons Michael DeBakey and Denton Cooley; William Spencer and his work on rehabilitation of paralysis patients; trauma surgeon and medevac pioneer James “Red” Duke; and Nobel Prize-winning pharmacology researcher Ferid Murad. Find out more at Texas Medical Center (TMC) Photograph Collection.
