The Los Angeles County Medical Association, begun in 1871, is a professional institution
designed to regulate and encourage the development of the medicine in Los Angeles. Since
then, the organization has established itself as an important institution in the profession.
The Association's library quickly became an archive for the medical history of California
and an invaluable research resource for physicians.
This collection contains approximately 870 publications and printed items, produced by
various organizations, related to hospitals, medicine, medical education, and public health,
chiefly in Southern California in the 20th century. The materials were compiled as part of
the library of the Los Angeles County Medical Association Collection, a professional
institution designed to regulate and encourage the development of the medicine in Los
Angeles. The bulk of the collection consists of programs for meetings, conventions, and
congresses; annual reports for medical societies, hospitals, and medical schools; and
doctor, staff, and medical student directories. In addition, there are reprints of speeches
and addresses; yearbooks for medical schools; commemorative, biographical, and historical
