Seventh Saranac Symposium Attendance Register (1952)

Twelve pages of the handwritten registration book of the Seventh Saranac Symposium, held at the Saranac Laboratory September 22 to 26, 1952. Facing pages give each guest's name, date and mailing address, then the organization represented, where the guest stayed and whether a wife or car came along. The organizations include Johns-Manville, the Quebec Asbestos Mining Association, insurers such as Employers Mutual of Wausau, American Mutual Liability, Lumbermens Mutual Casualty and Utica Mutual, state compensation boards, the U.S. Public Health Service and the U.S. Bureau of Mines.
