The collection amounts to .25 cubic feet and is composed of material relating to Kalamazoo Radiology a practice that opened in 1894 in Kalamazoo by Dr. Augustus W. Crane. The documents are letter and legal size along with photographic slides. Some papers from the early 20th century have yellowed and the ink has faded. There is minimal damage to the paper materials, save some small tears around the edges. The papers were written on in black ink from a typewriter and black pen ink. Some paper was printed on letterhead from their respective institutions including Kalamazoo Radiology, Borgess Hospital and Bronson Hospital. The older photographic slides are made of glass with paper borders, while the newer slides are plastic with a paper border. The slides are in excellent condition and present clear, detailed images.

The majority of the slides are about 1 inch by 1 inch; there is one, which is a glass negative, is 3.5 x 1.75 inches. The glass negative is an interior image of the Radiology office more than likely in Dr. Crane’s medical office. The majority of the other slides are of 458 W. South Street a location for Kalamazoo Radiology from approximately 1942 to 1976 and the current location at 524 South Park Street completed in 1976.
