Series XI:

Photographs, Film and Audio Cassettes

	Box 260	Photographs     Personal photographs of Gantt (ca. 70 items) date from about 1920. Family photographs are sparse; there are a few photographs of his children and one albumen print of his mother. The majority of photographs are portraits of Gantt, or Gantt posing with collaborators or other scientists. In addition, there are about 75 photographs of friends, including a signed portrait of Anna Pavlova (n.d.), portraits of Leon Trotsky's sister Mme. Kameniva, and of Gantt's Russian friend Mme. Arapova.
	Box 261	Photographs of Russian public health posters     Photographs of Russian public health posters (originals in box 277), with translations. (Translated from the Russian Daniel Todes, Ph. D., Institute for the History of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University).
	Box 262	Photographs of the American Relief Administration     Over forty photographs document the work of the ARA. Twelve of these are of Russian children receiving food, inoculations, and medical checkups. Others show Russians with various diseases. Miscellaneous photographs are of staff members and offices.     Photographs of children being fed in a large dining hall show the walls hung with posters and art works which portray the work of the organization. Gantt brought back two watercolors, similar in style and content to those appearing in the photographs. Both depict a mother draped in stars and stripes, providing relief and comfort to Russian children. (The artist is not identified.)
	Box 262	Photographs of Ivan Petrovich Pavlov     While Gantt's enthusiasm for photography seems to have surpassed his skill, his efforts yielded numerous engagingly candid and informal snapshots, which, together with photographs collected by and given to Gantt, are a rich and varied resource for Pavlov scholars. Numbering over 100, most of the photographs date from the 1920s and 1930s. Among the formal portraits is a picture of Pavlov in military uniform seated at his desk in 1900, and an 11 x 14 portrait inscribed and signed by Pavlov, June 4, 1930. In a series of snapshots taken in 1929, Pavlov is pictured relaxing and conversing with others aboard the ocean liner which brought Gantt, Pavlov, and a delegation of Russian physiologists to the U.S. In other photographs, Pavlov is shown playing "gorodkee" (a Russian sport similar to baseball), having his hair trimmed, and bathing in the river. One photograph shows Pavlov performing surgery, and two others show him observing the American neurosurgeon Harvey Cushing operating. Pavlov appears in one snapshot with a woman who may well be his wife. A group of six photographs mounted in collage are of Pavlov, Gantt, and Russian co-workers in Pavlov's Petrograd laboratory. A later series of eleven photographs taken by Photo TASS in 1941 show the town of Pavlovo near Leningrad, the Physiological Institute of the Academy of Sciences, and four of Pavlov's followers (Vatsuro, Vasiliev, Volokhov, and Voronin).
	Box 262-263	Photographs of Russia     In addition to photographs of the American Relief Administration and Pavlov, boxes 262 and 263 contain photographs of Russia. Most are unidentified and undated. About 300 are scenes of Russian countryside from the 1920s. Another group of about 60 urban scenes appears to date in the late 1950s.
	Box 264-276	Scientific photographs and audiovisual. — v.d. and n.d.     Photographs, sketches, photo-diagrams, 35 mm and lantern slides, motion picture films, tapes, and audio cassettes. The subjects of these are dogs, experiments, exhibits, laboratory apparatus, and graphs.

Series XII:

Russian Public Health Posters
    The public health poster was a significant educational tool used by the Soviet government in the 1920s, since education at that time was complicated by widespread illiteracy and shortages of paper. Gantt collected 38 color lithograph posters. Averaging about 24" by 36" in size, they exhibit a broad spectrum of still vivid color. They are by various artists and there are at least two distinct artistic styles. Eighteen of the posters concern alcoholism, tuberculosis, smallpox, trachoma, potable water, general hygiene, and maternal and child health. A complete series of twenty posters is a narrative of three brothers, chronicling the contraction, contagion, and proper treatment of syphilis, a disease endemic to the Russian population at the time. The narrative is interesting not only to medical historians, but also to social and political historians, who will find many details of everyday life captured by the artists in domestic scenes. The attitudes of the young Socialist state toward its citizens' social, religious, and work values are also revealed in the posters, together with exhortations to the populace to avail itself of government clinics, "reading huts," and other services. (Box 261 contains photographs of the public health posters, with translations. (Translated from the Russian Daniel Todes, Ph. D., Institute for the History of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University, and by Suzanne Dans)).
    There are eleven photographs of similar posters, or perhaps book illustrations, advocating calisthenics and concerning the "mental hygiene of reading." These are accompanied by partial translations, probably by Gantt.
