American Society for Clinical Investigation Records

The records of the American Society of Clinical Investigation found in the National Library of Medicine document many of the key events in the history of the organization. The heart of the collection is the set of official minutes and records kept by the secretary of the organization from 1907 to 1965. Included in the minutes are summaries of the annual meetings, decisions of the governing council, and discussion of the finances and other publishing problems of the Journal.

The secretary's record books are supplemented with material on the membership of the society. Included are listing of members, catalogues of members (which include a list of their publications), and nominees for election.

Includes progams, summaries of meetings, minutes of Council meetings, and reports on the Journal of Clinical Investigation.

May contain announcements of the meeting, programs, and/or abstracts.

Includes membership lists and catalogues of the members (which include their publications). Copies of the constitution and bylaws of the society are frequently found in the membership lists in later years.
