The papers of Louis A. M. Krause, M.D. (1896-1975) document his life and career, from his education in Baltimore schools to his later speeches and articles. Abundant material is available from his years of military service in World Wars I and II. In addition to his own travel diaries and correspondence, there are papers from two sisters and a brother.

These manuscripts, originally collected at the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland, document the history of the medical profession in Maryland in the form of lecture notes, correspondence, and case records from both individual physicians and prominent medical families. Major medical organizations, especially the Baltimore General Dispensary, are represented by ledgers, minutes, patient and physician daily records.
