Abstract:

Papers of W. W. Bauer, a director of the American Medical Association's Bureau of Health Education, primarily composed of radio and television scripts and recordings. The scripts, which were produced under Dr. Bauer's supervision, relate to programs broadcast over the NBC, ABC, and CBS networks, as well as to numerous programs prepared for local stations. Among the titles represented are NBC's Doctors at War, Doctors at Work, and To America's Schools--Your Health; ABC's Medical Horizons; and CBS's Stephen Graham, Family Doctor. There are also scripts, 1931, written for WRJN, Racine, Wisconsin; copies of Bauer's column for the Racine Times-Call, 1925-1926; speeches; and scripts written by Mrs. Bauer for the Wisconsin State Medical Society and produced on WHA. Correspondence, 1952-1959, concerns Bauer's nationally-syndicated column, “Here's to Your Health.” Also included are excerpts from AMA annual reports on the media, other special reports, and a scrapbook of miscellaneous promotional material.
