The Sid Gilman collection consists primarily of correspondence and research papers detailing his professional career, although photographs, filmstrips, slides, and other images are also distributed throughout the collection. This collection is divided into seven series: Biographical Info, Professional Information, UM Neurology Department Information, Decade of the Brain, Lectures/Presentations, Denny-Brown Material and, Research. Two of these series are further divided into two sub-series.
Parts of the collection are arranged in alphabetical order for ease of use, although the remaining series have been maintained in their original order. In addition, some of the contents are partially arranged in reverse chronological order, also as maintained originally.
The Professional Information series (0.75 linear feet) consists of correspondence between Gilman and members of the various organizations and committees of which he was a part. There may also be some correspondence between members other than Gilman. The bulk of the files relate to the American Neurological association (ANA), but other organizations include the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Neurology (AAN), and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS). The material in the Decade of the Brain series is related to Professional Information in that there is much correspondence between members of the AAN.
