Biographical History
In 1804 doctors of Savannah, Georgia petitioned the Georgia Legislature to grant them a charter for a medical society. The charter was granted December 12, 1804 for the Georgia Medical Society. This date makes the Georgia Medical Society the second oldest active city medical society in the United States. The Medical Society was formed "for the purpose of lessening the fatality induced by climate and incidental causes and improving the science of medicine." Their interest in higher education led to the establishment of a medical library. In 1914 the Georgia Medical Society bought the building at 612 Drayton St. and made it their headquarters.
