The collection consists of correspondence, memoranda, reports, published and unpublished writings,addresses, lectures, and film scripts, clinical and medical books, personnel records, contracts, biographical and genealogicalmaterial, abstracts, photographs, research data, and other papers pertaining chiefly to Gesell's work as director of the YaleClinic of Child Development, his studies of the mental and physical development of infants and children, and his role in thedebate on the developmental influences of environment and heredity. The Gesell Papers are organized in fifteen series:Family Correspondence, General Correspondence, Subject File, Collected Papers File, Speech and Article File, Book File,Book Contribution File, Book Review File, Monograph File, Film Script File, Miscellany, Scrapbooks, Addition, Closed,and Oversize.

Family papers and correspondence account for material dated prior to Gesell's birth in Alma, Wisconsin, and comprise thebulk of the papers dated between 1880 and 1900. Although these papers contain documentation of subjects other than thoserelating to Arnold Gesell, they serve primarily as a source of biographical data relating to Gesell's family life, his childhoodand adolescence, student days at Alma High School, 1893-1896, and Stevens Point Normal School, 1896-1899, and hiswork as a teacher at the Stevens Point High School, 1899-1901.

From 1911 to 1948, Gesell was director of the Yale Clinic of Child Development, where he conducted studies of thephysical growth and mental development of infants and children.

References in the Speech and Article File relate to Gesell's theoretical positions and his emergence,while director of the Yale Clinic of Child Development, as a spokesman for the hereditarian theory that the child grows ashis germ plasm directs.

Other material in the collection concerns Gesell's retirement from Yale in 1950 and to his association as a researchconsultant from 1950 to 1958 with the institute that bore his name, the Gesell Institute of Child Development, and materialrelating to German immigration and assimilation, circa 1870-1910, the character of J.
