- catalog abstract "Consists of approximately 16,800 glass plate negatives, original negative enclosures, photographic indices, and a small number of prints produced by the photographic service of the Salpêtrière Hospital, Paris, France between 1880 and 1942, the bulk of which date between 1900 and 1919. Records also include one legal document box (.5 cubic feet) of notes, lectures, case histories, and pen drawings created by Salpêtrière staff between 1859 and 1893, many authored by J. M. (Jean-Martin) Charcot (1825-1893), who entered into the Salpêtrière's service in 1856 and served as chair for the study of nervous disorders from 1882 until his death. Records concern patients with physical and mental diseases, as well as the research of Charcot and other physicians. Negatives depict whole body images of patients and heath care workers, partial body images showing specific medical conditions, tissue and lesions discovered during autopsy, and wards and hospital buildings. The majority of the plates are five inches by seven inches, but approximately 1,500 are roughly eight inches by ten inches and 1,600 are several sizes smaller. A group of these smaller-sized plates were used to produce stereopticon cards. Additionally, a selection of unexposed plates in a variety of sizes have been retained in their original packaging.".

- catalog description "The Salpêtrière Hospital, Paris, France was built in 1603 as an arsenal and converted by 1656 into an almshouse for elderly indigent women. During the eighteenth century, the hospital developed facilities for the care of the infirm and insane; its reputation for psychiatric care furthered by Phillippe Pinel (1745-1826), Jean Étienne Dominique Esquirol (1772-1840), and Jules Gabriel François Baillarger (1809-1890). In 1862, J. M. (Jean-Martin) Charcot (1825-1893) and Edmé Félix Alfred Vulpian (1826-1887) became the hospital's chief physicians. At this time there were about 5,000 residents, divided into two sections: one housing elderly indigent women, patients with incurable cancers, and the blind, and the other (numbering over 3,000) housing mentally disabled, mentally ill, and epileptic patients. Charcot's work with the second population proved pivotal in the development of both modern neurology and psychology. He established laboratories and a section on clinical psychology, directed by Pierre Janet (1859-1947), and he published case studies on hysteria and a wide variety of neurological disorders, namely: Iconographie Photographique de la Salpêtrière (1877-1880) and Nouvelle Iconographie de la Salpêtrière (1888-1918). Photographs for these publications were produced by the photographic service established at the hospital by Charcot in 1878 for the purpose of patient care, the study of disease, and medical instruction.".
