The Sand collection consists of some correspondence and subject files on various topics. The correspondence arranged chronologically covers the period 1925 to 1955 with the bulk from 1947 to 1954 and almost exclusively incoming. It is mainly personal correspondence with friends, his grandson Olaf, and acquaintances in Norway. The letters after his death are to his wife from persons offering condolence. The subject files cover a wide variety of topics to include a handwritten autobiographical sketch, course notes from post-graduate studies, membership cards and receipts which show the extremely diverse interests of Dr. Sand, newspaper clippings on his career and on St. Luke's Hospital and several speeches by Dr. Sand and others. The patient ledger covers the period of April 1905 to February 1907 and arranged chronologically. Each entry includes name, age, address, symptoms, treatment and charges. There is a name index at the beginning.  The Syge (Sick) Journal is a bound volume containing information on all his patients while practicing at Hareidand, Norway. The research papers on Thrombosis and Embolism were prepared for the nurses of St. Luke's Hospital.
