Abstract: Records of the Society for the History of Medical Science, which was a duly registered University of California, Los Angeles
(UCLA) campus-affiliated group and a constituent society of the American Association of the History of Medicine. The Society
was founded and governed mostly, but not entirely, by faculty members of the Los Angeles area's three medical schools of the
time, namely the College of Medical Evangelists, the University of Southern California School of Medicine, and the University
of California, Los Angeles School of Medicine. The stated purpose of the group was to promote interest in, and the study of,
medical history. Membership, by invitation, included medical faculty and students, practicing physicians, and others interested
in the group's purpose. Eminent speakers appeared at two to four meetings a year, and to raise interest in the history of
medicine among medical students, interns, and residents, the Society sponsored an essay contest with a medal and small cash
prizes, named for John F. Fulton with his approval and support.

Historical Note
The Society for the History of Medical Science was a duly registered University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) campus-affiliated
group and a constituent society of the American Association of the History of Medicine. The Society was founded and governed
mostly, but not entirely, by faculty members of the Los Angeles area's three medical schools of the time, namely the College
of Medical Evangelists, the University of Southern California School of Medicine, and the University of California, Los Angeles
School of Medicine. The stated purpose of the group was to promote interest in, and the study of, medical history. Membership,
by invitation, included medical faculty and students, practicing physicians, and others interested in the group's purpose.
Eminent speakers appeared at two to four meetings a year, and to raise interest in the history of medicine among medical students,
interns, and residents, the Society sponsored an essay contest with a medal and small cash prizes, named for Yale University
neurophysiologist and historian of medicine John F. Fulton with his approval and support.
Scope and Content
Minutes, announcements, correspondence, lists, and other papers fully document the first ten years of the Society's activities.
After that the fullness of the documentation diminishes year by year, although still sufficient to follow the subject matter
and speakers for general programs, and the identities of the group's officers and doers. Los Angeles was home base for many
scholars and aficionados of medical history, whose social and professional connections reached far, so the list of speakers
the Society gathered over all its years was outstanding and their programs of real interest.
The collection is organized into the following series:
- Series 1. Administrative Files, 1950-1980. 24 folders and 2 groups of file cards
- Series 2. Activities, 1950-1974. 63 folders
