The National Asthma Center (NAC) existed under a series of names. It was founded in 1907 by Fannie Lorber as the Denver Sheltering Home for Jewish Children; from 1928-1952, it was called the National Home for Jewish Children in Denver; from 1953-1956, it was the Jewish National Home for Asthmatic Children in Denver; from 1957-1972, it was the Children's Asthma Research Institute and Hospital (CARIH); and from 1973-1977, it became the National Asthma Center. The box contains large scrapbook pages (1926-1939), letter and full sized copies of scrapbook (1916-1939) and oversized photographs (between 1930 and 1977). Identified children include Kevin Heneghan (12 from Texas), Brett Gruven (7 from California), and multiple photographs of Nellie Jiminez. One photograph shows Denise Watt (7 from Canada), Quigley Anne Provost (6 from Texas), and Sylvia Kraf(?) (6 from Illinois) in the CARIH dining room which "seats all 165 children at each meal." Also in the box is a poster with multiple photographic images.
