The collection is divided into 4 overlapping series that are a result of the Spidle oral history, which led to Dr. Kilgore's donation of the transcript of the Weitekamp interview and two public radio programs' audio tapes. The remaining materials are miscellaneous newspaper clippings, and a CV.
Series I. Oral History with Jake Spidle, 1985: This series contains the final transcript of the oral history, and 4 audio tapes. The Spidle interview surveys Dr. Kilgore's life and his career as an otolaryngologist and longtime leader of The Lovelace Medical Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Dr. Kilgore came to the growing Lovelace Clinic in 1953, attracted by its reputation for leadership in the field of aviation medicine, and gave that institution nearly four decades of service before his retirement in 1992. A critical figure in the institution's history, Dr. Kilgore served as President and Chief Executive of The Lovelace Medical Center in the period 1969-1975. Among the subjects discussed in the interview are Dr. Kilgore's personal and professional backgrounds; the prominent figures and special programs of The Lovelace Clinic in the 1950's; the development of the institution through that period and up through the 1970's; relations within the Albuquerque medical community; and the birth of the UNM School of Medicine.
