Name Health Organizations Collection
Dates 1880-1967
Extent 3.25 cubic feet
Historical Note This collection may have been assembled by or for Howard L. Holley, MD (1914-1988), during his research into the medical history of Alabama.  An Alabama native, Dr. Holley served as the first Anna Lois Waters Professor of Medicine at UAB from 1970 until 1984.  In 1982 he published The History of Medicine in Alabama, and some of the material in this collection appears to have been used by Dr. Holley for this publication.  Additional material may have been added when these research files were transferred over to the JCMS/UAB Health Sciences Archives.
Scope and Contents Includes correspondence, reports, organizational minutes, programs, newsletters, pamphlets, brochures, membership lists, and news clippings.  The primary focus is Jefferson County and the City of Birmingham.

Accession Number M95-01
Provenance The material in this collection may have been collected by or for Dr. Howard L. Holley while he was researching medical history for his The History of Medicine in Alabama (1982).  The material appears to have been organized later by the staff of the Jefferson County Medical Society/UAB Health Sciences Archives.  After the JCMS/UAB facility was disbanded, the collection was transferred to the UAB Archives.
