Office of the Secretary, 1973-1989

 Sub-Series

Scope and Contents

This sub-series contains the papers of ABA Secretaries who are elected for three-year terms. The papers reflect the range of duties for which the Secretary is responsible and contain committee reports, proposed budgets, and correspondence relating to membership, committee assignments, and public inquiries. One folder containing Charles Hartford's papers includes responses to an invitation issued to individuals in the field of burn care to criticize the ABA's definitive statement on levels of burn care and burn injury (Specific Optimal Criteria for Hospital Resources for Patients with Burn Injury), which was promulgated in 1976. The material is arranged chronologically according to an individual's time in office but may encompass periods of time before and after that term.
