Council Minutes, 1960

 File — Box: 4, Folder: 9

Collection Summary

From the Collection:

The archives of the Society as found in the National Library of Medicine are an amalgam of several different collections of records. The oldest material derives from a collection of the society's records which was collected by its officers and stored at the library at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. These have been supplemented with the files of several secretaries and presidents, including Mortimer Civan, Arthur L. Finn, John S. Cook, Paul De Weer, Melvyn Lieberman, Betty M. Twarog, and Tomuo Hoshiko.

The core of the collection is the set of official minutes from the semi-annual council meetings. These minutes cover the decisions of the government council, discussion of the annual symposia, finances and publishing problems. The minutes are supplemented by records with information on elections, membership, annual symposia with their attendant problems, scholarships and awards, Distinguished Lecturer appointments and relationships of the Society with other organizations. Particularly noteworthy is the extensive correspondence and other material relating to the publication of symposia proceedings.
