Historical note

The Medical Faculty Wives at the University of California, Los Angeles, began with an informal luncheon in 1949 to discuss the desirability of such an organization as a benefit to the medical school (founded in 1945). Originating members included Mrs. John Lawrence, Mrs. Charles Carpenter, Mrs. Norman Nelson, and Mrs. Stafford Warren (chairwoman). As stated in the Constitution of the Medical Faculty Wives, the organization sought to "encourage wider acquaintance among the members and the sharing of common interest in the development of the School of Medicine and Hospital." Activities of the group included regular meetings, the organization of charity events, and operation of a patient library.

Files contain scrapbooks and scrapbook pages holding black and white and color photos, clippings, event fliers, invitations, programs, select correspondence, and other ephemera related to the actions of the Medical Faculty Wives between 1949-1992.
