The collection consists of domestic and foreign advertisements--primarily tearsheets from medical journals--leaflets, and product literature from 1962 to 1978, maintained by Syntex to track its competitors' products.
Scope and Contents:
The collection consists of domestic and foreign advertisements primarily from medical journals, leaflets, and some product literature from 1962 to 1978, maintained by Syntex of its competitors' products. Many of the ads have "press advertisements control of repetition" slips stapled to them. These slips, maintained by Syntex, captured the journal title the contained the advertisement, the country, year, month, and length of time the ad ran. For example, The Medical Journal of Australia Advertiser, Australia, 1971, April, 17 days. General drug product categories include anti-inflammatories, analgesics, dermatologicals, respiratory drugs, psychological therapies, anabolic steroids, sex hormones, and oral contraceptives. The arrangement of each series reflects the original order. Some of the series contain a coding system presumably applied by the company. For example BC means birth control; GYN means gynecological and PT means psychological therapy. Only Series One, Two and Three have these acronyms applied at the folder level.
Series 1, Birth Control/Gynecological Therapy, 1962-1978, is arranged alphabetically by country. When known, the name of the drug manufacturer is provided. The oral contraceptive and menopausal hormone advertising is a good source of images of women.
Series 2, Steroids, 1963-1976, consists of advertisements for steroids, but drugs for other conditions are represented here, such as arthritis. The materials are arranged alphabetically by country, followed by the name of the drug manufacturer. In some instances the drug name is noted parenthetically.
Series 3, Psychological Therapy, 1969-1977 and undated, consists of advertisements related to drugs that treat depression and anxiety. Many of the ads feature images of men and women in various psychological states. The series is arranged alphabetically by country followed by the drug manufacturer and the name of the specific drug in parentheses. For example: Australia, Ciba (Trasicor).
Series 4, Analgesics, 1964-1978 and undated, consists of advertisements for drugs that relate to pain reduction or anti-inflammatories. The series is arranged alphabetically by country with the drug manufacturer name provided.
Series 5, Dermatologicals, circa 1970s, consists of advertisements for dermatological drugs such as ointments, acne lotions, nasal sprays, creams, lotions, suppositories, aerosols, and powders. The series is arranged alpabetically by drug type. For example, drugs with dexamethasone are grouped together followed by dietilamine, estilone, and fluazacort. Within that drug group the name of the specific drug is listed parenthetically along with the country. The collection inventory reads as: Dexamethasone (Ortricorten), Germany. In some instances, the drug manufacturer is listed, but overall this information is inconsistent.
Series 6, Cardiovascular, circa 1970s, consists of advertisements for cardiac related drugs. The series is arranged alphabetically by drug categories, followed by the specific drug name if known and country. For example, Practolol (Eraldin), South Africa and Practolol (Eraldine), France.
Series 7, Respiratory, circa 1970s, consists of advertisements for respiratory drugs and therapies. The series is arranged alphabetically by drug categories, followed by the specific drug name, if known, and country. For example, Beclomethasone (Aldecin), New Zealand.

Biographical / Historical:
Syntex, S.A. was a pharmaceutical company formed in Mexico City in 1944 by Russell Marker (1902-1995), an American chemist who worked for the Ethyl Corporation. Marker successfully made synthetic progesterone (pregnancy hormone) from chemical constituents found in Mexican barbasco plants, which are inediable wild yams. Initially the company was a supplier of steroid chemicals, but it eventually evolved into a producer of other pharmaceuticals under its own name. This led to the development at Syntex of an oral contraceptive pill that was cost effective and a cheap, ample supply of cortisone. The company further broadened its scope to develop medicines to treat chronic illness and major diseases such as arthritis, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer and Alzheimer's. The pharmaceutical products offered by Syntex related to allergies, anti-inflammatory/analgesic, anti-viral, cardiovascular, dermatologic, and reproductive/gynecologic drug therapies.
In 1957, Syntex incorporated in Panama, and in 1958 became a publicly owned company. In 1964, Syntex branded it's own contraceptive Norinyl and established a United States presence in Palo Alto, California. Several divisions were formed: Syva Company (diagnostics division); Syntex Opthalmics; Syntex Agribusiness, Inc.; Syntex Dental Products; and Syntex Beauty Care, Inc. The company's name is derived from the "Synt" in Synthesis and "ex" in Mexico. In 1994, the Roche Group, a Swiss global health-care company, acquired Syntex.

This series contains more than 87,000 color transparencies (slides) taken by Sultner between 1947 and 1980.
The arrangement is Sultner's: General slides (United States, World, Cruises, European Architectural Styles, Subjects, and People), Framed Subjects, Note¬cards, and Lectures. Detailed container lists are available for each subseries.
With regard to all of the transparencies: comments such as "from 1952" indicate that more than one year, and probably more than one decade are included in the section. The white slips interfiled with the transparencies contain the information provided by Sultner on his original filing envelopes and refer to the images following the information. Bracketed "[]" information has been provided by the cataloger. Spelling corrections have been made and many abbreviations have been eliminated. U.S. Postal Service standard abbreviations for states are used frequently.
Of special interest are Sultner's images of "Roadside Americana" (box 102), Vietnam (boxes 81, 137-138), and post-World War II views of Germany (boxes 52-60, 129-131, 138, 158-159). Among the famous people photographed and included in this series are Indian Prime Minister Nehru, Robert Frost, George Balanchine, and tenor Roland Hayes.
"United States," "World": The transparencies are filed in geographic, then subject order. For example, all of the towns in a particular state are filed alphabetically, then routes between areas and finally any subject headings for that state. Sultner often num¬bered his envelopes within a city. That order has been honored, even if the material is no longer filed alphabetically. Sultner often subdivided materials by a geographic region, for example, Cape Cod, and within that, by town. Those geographic distinctions have also been retained.
Cruises: This section covers Sultner's travels with the Holland-America Cruise lines. Sultner partially sorted the materials based on five main cruises: Africa, Asia, Caribbean, Mediterranean, and the Scandinavian coast, known as the North, Cape. Because the cruises left from Florida, there are often small sections of the port in Florida included in what would otherwise be a non-American section. Other countries not necessarily part of the "name" cruise appear because they were ports of call along the way. For example, Mexico and Panama are in the Asian section because the ships passed through the Panama Canal to arrive in the Pacific Ocean. The mate¬rial is arranged alphabetically by country, rather than the order in which visited on the cruises.
"European architectural styles": Buildings representative of ba¬roque, Palladian, and rococo architecture are in this subseries. The images are filed geographically; in the case of Italy, the transparencies are arranged by north, central, or south Italy, then by date and finally by building name.
Subjects: The transparencies in this subseries are in Sultner's own categories. Subjects such as Christmas, Gardens, People, Color, and Design are included. The materials are filed alphabetically.
People: Identified people from Sultner's travels are filed alphabetically.
Framed subjects: This section contains slides used by Sultner in preparing a lecture. Instead of white slips identifying sections, Sultner's original tags were used. Any tags that were loose are filed at the end of each section. If no tag was found with a group of slides in a rubber band, a paper insert will read "No Tag." If you are able to identify a particular section, please let a staff member know so that the information may be recorded in the finding aid and database. The materials were inserted in sleeves in the order in which they appeared in the box. It appears that some of these slides were originally part of a lecture and were moved to this section by Sultner. These transparencies are filed alphabeti¬cally by Sultner title.
Notecard Files: Interfiled with his notecards were transparencies. These images are filed as they were interfiled in the boxes of notes and cover recurring themes: gardens, cruises, architecture, light and color.
Lectures: A date at the end of a particular section indicates the time that the lecture was given. Only on rare occasions does the date mean the actual time the photograph was taken. A check in the biography section will quickly show whether Sultner was in the area for that date. A semicolon separates each section within a group. These transparencies are filed alphabetically by Sultner's title.
Framed Sublects and Lectures: Explanation of Sultner's shorthand:
"A" or "A/" -- Architecture
"Bll: -- Beautification/Beauty
'IC" -- Conservation
"IC&L" -- Color and Light
"(C)II -- Central
"D" -- Design
"F" -- Framed; ie., mounted between glass in aluminum slide mounts
"G" or "G/11 -- Gardens
"GD" -- Garden design
"H/G" -- House(s) and garden(s)
"L" or "L/" -- indicates that Sultner used the section in one or more of his public lectures.
"L&C" -- Light and Color
"M" or "M/" -- means that the transparencies were shown to music and the "xxp. #:OO" indicates the number of transparencies shown in that amount of time. The "M" is generally followed by Sultner's choice of music for that section.
"(N)" -- North
"P" -- Portraits, people, palace, palazzo
"[PROJECT]" -- "[PROJECT]" indicates a set of slides designated a "project" by Sultner. There are related notes in series 3, box 41.
"(S)" -- South
"V/G" -- Villa/Gardens
"Redo" -- indicates that Sultner intended to re-do the transparencies for that particular section.
