The Transfiguration, Painting depicts two New Testament scenes, on the lower level: the Miracle of the Possessed Boy and in the upper: The Transfiguration of Christ. Between the two scenes the apostles are in various states of prayer, awe, or shock. At Jesus' feet, Peter, James and John shield their eyes from the light of Jesus' transfiguration. In the sky, Jesus, Elijah, and Moses are all elevated in a cloud of glory.

About this Site

This site contains collection guides, or finding aids, to the archival collections held by Vanderbilt University Special Collections and University Archives, the History of Medicine Collection, and the Scarritt Bennett Center. Finding aids describe the context, arrangement, and structure of archival materials, allowing users to identify and request materials relevant to their research.

Requesting Materials

Each finding aid contains a link to request materials from the collections. Collections can also be requested by emailing the repository directly through the library website. Each repository has its own location, hours, and contact information. Please consult the repository with questions about using the materials. Collections are non-circulating and must be used in the repository’s reading room. In many cases, the collections are stored off-site and require advance notice for retrieval.
