- Biographical / historical:
-
Although the origin of these medical logs is unknown, they were transferred to the archives by the University of California, Irvine Medical Center (UCIMC) in 1996, suggesting that they were most likely inherited from one of UCIMC's predecessors. Hence, these logs are probably records of the Orange County General Hospital (OCGH), which served Orange County, California beginning in the early 1900s. When UCI began using OCGH as a teaching hospital in 1968, the hospital's name was changed to Orange County Medical Center (OCMC). UCI purchased OCMC in 1976, assuming its operation, management, and financing and OCMC became UCIMC, combining patient care, teaching and research.
