Biographical Note

Founded on May 2, 1898, by four librarians and four physicians at the suggestion of George M. Gould, M.D., editor of the Philadelphia Medical Journal, the Medical Library Association (MLA) is the second oldest special library association in the United States. Membership was limited to librarians representing medical libraries of not less than 500 volumes and with regular library hours and attendance. The Association of Medical Librarians (as it was known until 1907) was founded "to encourage the improvement and increase of public medical libraries".

MLA has grown to a professional organization of more than 1,200 institutions and 3,800 professionals in the health information field. It continues to assist librarians with the exchange of health sciences books and periodicals (the MLA Exchange is one of the founders' earliest and most important projects) and to develop a variety of programs to serve the needs of health information specialists.

MLA is dedicated to improving excellence and leadership of the health information professional to foster the art and science of health information services. It furthers the professional development of our members through career information resources, meetings, publications, courses, awards, scholarships, and various support services. The association also serves as an advocate for the profession and for all health sciences libraries and librarians.

Series 2: Board of Directors

Material in the Board of Directors series originated from different sources. Some files belonged to presidents and other board members who frequently donated their files to the MLA while other materials originated in the headquarters office. Unfortunately, preliminary processing destroyed the provenance and organization of the material, making it impossible to reconstruct the file series. The processor constructed an artificial BOD series given the lack of original order and the large amount of duplication. The following materials were removed and placed into series: correspondence directed to the Board in general, minutes of board meetings, agendas for the board meetings and their accompanying background materials, Executive Committee correspondence, reports, and minutes, Management Review Committee minutes, and quarterly reports from the executive director. Agenda materials with minutes of board meetings stayed together.
