Historical Note
The Los Angeles County Medical Association began in 1878, 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.

The collection contains forty-one (41) volumes of minute books of the Los Angeles
County Medical Association (LACMA) from 1871 to 1970. Most of the volumes are typewritten, but some are handwritten.
The collection consists of three series:

beginning in 1871 to 1905.
- 2. 28 volumes of minutes from LACMA’s Board of Councilors from 1905 to
1970.
- 3. Nine volumes of the minutes of LACMA’s Board of Trustees from
1920 to 1966.
