The American Veterinary Medical History Society was formed
by a group of interested veterinarians and friends
to recall the past and relate it in an interesting fashion to their colleagues, and to collect and place in suitable archives a record of the “remembered” past from as many as possible. This group is made up of those interested in preserving books, photos, and artifacts of the past and present. Members have many diverse interests such as collecting prints, medallions, stamps, logos, diplomas, patent medicine bottles, antique instruments, etc. As a result, there are now in the United States 13 important collections or museums covering instruments, pharmaceutical books, papers of individuals, audio tapes of interviews with outstanding veterinarians, slides, memorabilia, photographs, catalogues, diplomas, miscellaneous papers, items representing veterinary practice, research and regulatory activities.
