Barbara Sherman Papers 1979, 1990-2018, undated

Barbara Sherman was a professor at North Carolina State University's College of Veterinary Medicine from 1984 until her retirement in 2018. She previously taught at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, and practiced veterinary medicine at her clinic in Southern Pines and Cary, North Carolina. In 2012, she became a full Clinical Professor. Her research focused on anxiety, fear, and aggression in companion animals.

Sherman earned her M.S. in biology from Towson University in Baltimore, Maryland, then her Ph.D. in zoology (animal behavior) from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and her DVM from The Ohio State University.

The Barbara Sherman Papers contains a wide variety of materials that span her career as a professor, lecturer, and clinician of veterinary medicine at North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine. Included are correspondence, lectures and writings, clinical reports, newspaper clippings, pamphlets, raw data from clinical trials and studies, and other materials. The collection provides information on Dr. Sherman's career as an instructor at North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine, public speaker at veterinary conferences, and clinician in the field of companion animal behavior.

Also included are materials from two clinical trials Dr. Sherman conducted at the College of Veterinary Medicine, one on the use of Trazodone for anxiety in companion animals and one on the creation of an emotional reactivity test for service dogs in the military.

This collection is arranged in four series: Teaching Materials, Conferences and Publications, Trazodone Clinical Trials, and Emotional Reactivity Test.
