Medical Society of the County of New York. Records, 1794-1980.

Title: Records, 1794-1980.

Important aspects of the 19th century records deal with organization and administration and as membership in the society equaled license to practice, given the terms of the 1806 state legislation, the membership records reveal a great deal about medical education and training. The society was instrumental in establishing the New York College of Physicians and Surgeons and the National Pharmacopoeia, which is reflected in the papers. The society also monitored medical practitioners. Given that the bulk of the materials are devoted to various Committees within the Society, minutes and correspondence are the main series of these records groups. Included are minutes, 1806-1983; treasurer's reports, 1820-post 1945?; copies of correspondence concerning dues, 1903-1905; account books, 1820-post 1945?; a 1906 financial audit; various lists of members, 1806-1980s; membership application forms filled out with biographical data, 1868-1878; of specific significance, documentation covering the activities of committees after WWII, related to major issues in public health, health insurance, hospital financing, medical economics; a scrapbook, 1920-1934, containing obituaries of members and information about their resignations, transfers, reinstatements, and retirements from the Society. Also, minutes of the Society's committees, including: Board of Censors, 1887-1905; Committee on Diseases (including some reports), 1860-1870; Committee on Membership, 1912-1933; Committees on Maternal Welfare and Child Welfare, and, especially in the 1950s and 1960s, the Committee on Abortion; committees on blood transfusions and donations, as well a committee on the Red Cross which led to agreements on control of blood transfusion operations with the latter in 1952; a large section of the material is devoted to the Joint congresses of MSCNY and Tokyo Medical Association, 1964-1986.
