Content Summary:

Tscharke created and maintained a numerical filing system for his extensive administrative files and records. This series consists of the files created under this system.

Material includes correspondence, reports, research proposals, teaching notes and manuals, minutes of meetings, hospital records, statistical records and miscellaneous papers.
