54th Annual Meeting, 1974 Apr 21-23

By far the largest series in the collection, Series 3 consists of minutes, transcripts, agendas, reports, memoranda, financial statements, programs, and registers from the association's annual spring meetings. These materials document administrative decisions, general business and financial statements, committee reports, and papers written by members and other professional surgeons. There are two member attendance registers spanning 1957-1973, followed by two chronologically arranged subseries. The Programs subseries spans the 2nd to the 82nd annual meetings with a continuous run of programs from the 8th through the 80th. Beginning with the 75th meeting, additional programs for special symposia are filed with the main meeting programs. Most programs contain abstracts of the scientific papers presented at the meetings. All program books are available for review at www.aats.org. The Council Minutes subseries contains minutes, transcripts, and other materials that are divided into Council, Business, Executive, and/or Scientific sessions. While the earlier meetings are not well represented, particularly the 23rd through 43rd, there is a continuous run of minutes from the 44th through the 79th annual meetings.
