The Donald J. Fernbach, MD papers contain materials relating to his career in pediatric oncology at Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children's Hospital.

In addition to text and information pertaining to his book Clinical Pediatric Oncology, the collection also includes other publications, reprints, and presentations. Similarly, aside from the Acute Leukemia in Children (ALinC) studies, there is also research from other projects, such as the National Wilm's Tumor Study.
