Parkland Memorial Hospital

The Museum’s collection of Parkland Hospital material contains original and photocopies of medical reports from the Dallas County hospital where President Kennedy and Texas Governor John Connally were taken for treatment immediately after the shootings. The collection also contains original administrative reports, doctor summaries, employee recollections and correspondence files related to the treatment of President Kennedy, accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald and Oswald's killer, Jack Ruby. Also available in this collection is a copy of the autopsy report on Dallas Police Officer J.D. Tippit, the police officer who was shot and killed in Oak Cliff shortly after President Kennedy was assassinated. Connally's records are not part of this collection; they were forwarded to his physician following his discharge.
