The papers of John T. Reeves, M.D., professor emeritus of medicine, pediatrics and surgery in the School of Medicine at Colorado University. The papers document his medical and scientific contribution to high altitude, neonatal, and molecular and cellular pulmonary circulation research from 1969-2004.

John "Jack" T. Reeves was born on November 17, 1928 in Hazard, Kentucky. Reeves attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, graduating with a B.S. in biology in 1950. He continued with his education at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, receiving his M.D. in 1954. He spent some time as a resident at Cincinnati General Hospital before relocating to the University of Colorado Medical Center from 1957-1961. During his residency at the Center, he developed a working relationship with Robert Grover, a physician and high altitude physiologist at the cardiac catheterization laboratory. He spent eleven years at the University of Kentucky (1961-1972), including one year with Geoffrey Dawes, prominent respiratory physiologist at Oxford's Nuffield Institute for Medical Research. By 1970, he was named professor of medicine. During his years at Kentucky, he studied fetal lung circulation in animals, specifically newborn cattle. In 1972, Reeves moved to Denver at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center where he remained for almost thirty-two years as professor of medicine, pediatrics, and family medicine with involvements in surgery/emergency medicine. He was granted emeritus status in 1994, upon retirement from both the pediatrics and medicine departments and received teaching awards for his second year medical school pathophysiology courses, 1982-1994.

Considered by many of his colleagues to be an interdisciplinary scientist, Reeves' research not only involved high altitude studies, but neonatal medicine, anesthesiology, and biology. Some of his first high altitude studies, he conducted with Peter Hackett, answered questions about ventilatory acclimatization using mountaineers in Nepal. He later continued ventilation testing in Pike's Peak, Colorado, in a series of high altitude tests from 1982-1985. From 1999-2001, he was also involved in a study about altitude acclimatization in women, a subject that had not been explored fully in scientific analysis.

From 1985-1987, Reeves participated in the Operation Everest II research project in a simulated altitude chamber in Natick, Massachusetts. He was responsible for performing cardiac catheterizations to better understand circulatory function at high altitude. The accumulated data would result in numerous published articles and awards including the American Thoracic Society Research Achievement Award in 1996.

His research from over thirty-five years resulted in approximately 400 peer reviewed journal articles and several chapters in eleven published books. The topical distribution of his articles covers over fourteen disclipines, including pulmonary hypertension, altitude illness, cardiac output, metabolism, and circulatory control. One of his notable efforts is the history book Attitudes on Altitude: Pioneers of Medical Research in Colorado's High Mountains (2001), a narrative compilation of pioneers of high altitude medicine, edited with Robert Grover. He also wrote a non-scientific book titled Literary Gems: A Reading List of Great Short Books (1998).

Reeves was a member of the Cardiovascular Pulmonary Laboratory at the Colorado University School of Medicine, where he played a signficant role in the establishment of the Colorado Center for Altitude Medicine and Physiology. He also served as the research director of the former Colorado Altitude Research Institute in 1992, an association developed for public awareness education of high altitude safety.

John Reeves died on September 15, 2004, in Denver, Colorado.

RESEARCH PROJECTS AND GRANTS

Scope and Content of Series

Series 3: RESEARCH PROJECTS AND GRANTS: Materials are multi-participants studies to individual scientific subject based analysis. The files document Reeves' involvement with medical expeditions to Pike's Peak, Operation Everest II, and Nepal. The series is arranged in three subseries: A) Pike's Peak Expedition, B)Operation Everest II, and C) Other Research.

A) The research conducted for a Pike's Peak (Colorado) expedition in 1982 tested high altitude factors affecting ventilation and acclimatization. The materials include drafts of scientific papers composed from the results of the testing, grant proposals, and miscellaneous recorded data. The subseries is arranged chronologically.

B) John Reeves participated as a principal investigator in Operation Everest II, a second study simulation of high altitude ascension involving test subjects in a controlled decompression environment from 1985-1986 at the United States Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine in Natick, Massachusetts. The materials include heart rate, hemodynamics, and oxygen uptake data; slides; and miscellaneous data charts. The subseries is arranged chronologically.

C) The Other Miscellaneous Research subseries includes data collected from altitude sickness research in Nepal, exercise tests on horses and cattle, and pulmonary hypertension. The material is arranged alphabetically.

COLORADO ALTITUDE RESEARCH INSTITUTE (CARI)

Scope and Content of Series

Series 4) COLORADO ALTITUDE RESEARCH INSTITUTE (CARI): The Colorado Altitude Research Institute (CARI), founded 1988, was established to educate the public and state health, tourism, and ski officials on high altitude awareness and safety. Reeves succeeded Robert Schoene as director in 1992. The materials include administrative files during the tenure of Reeves, comprising correspondence, committee meeting minutes, newsletters, and organizational reports. The collection also includes surveys and studies observed by committee members with subsequent published material.
