Medical Society of Metropolitan Portland records
The Medical Society of Metropolitan Portland was founded in 1884 in order to support fellowship among medical professionals in the city. Over the 136 years of its activity?and through multiple iterations of growth and expansion?the activities of the Society included advocacy for standards of practice and public health; coordination with other state, national, and international medical organizations; exploration of the political and economic aspects of medicine; and charitable works. The archival collection spans from 1884 to 2020, and includes records, minutes, photographs, correspondence, and more that document the history and practices of the Society. A small number of representative records have been digitized and are available here.
