The Texas Physicians Database consists of citations
to biographical information related to early Texas physicians from the
Texas State Journal of Medicine for 1905-1966. Most of these are one-line
death notices, rather than extensive obituaries, and so they were not
indexed in standard sources such as Index Medicus. Additional citations
from other sources range in date from the 1870's to 1966, and include
early Texas medical journals such as the Texas Courier-Record of Medicine,
Polk's Directories, Texas newspapers and assorted histories of Texas.
The database consists of citations and does not include
the full text of the biographical material. Each citation includes an
OCLC number. Your local library's interlibrary loan department can use
this number to locate which libraries actually own the primary source.
Most records also include the year of birth or death, but not the entire
birth or death date. The database is searchable by last name only or
by last name and first initial. Some physicians are also searchable
by the city in which they primarily practiced. You can also browse from
an alphabetical index of last names. Please feel free to provide a link
to this database from your own Web site. The project was funded by Texas
Treasures grants.
