Scope and Contents
From the Series:
The Records of the Section of Public Health and Preventive Medicine (SPHPM) document the establishment in 1994 and later activities of the Section during its first 15 years of existence, up to 2010, through meeting minutes, correspondence, membership information, and programming.
This collection is a rich resource for those interested in the programming for and advocacy of a non-profit institution related to public health issues.
Researchers should note that the media found in this collection (cassette tapes) are not able to be played as the Library does not have the required hardware.
The collection is divided into four series: Committee on Public Health, Executive Committee, Administrative records, and Programs.
Series I: Committee on Public Health includes the meeting minutes and correspondence of the Committee for the years 1992 to 1998, especially in relation to the establishment of the Section on Public Health and Preventive Medicine.
Series II: Executive Committee spans the years 1993 to 2010, and provides evidence of the administration of the Section, including the adoption of the by-laws and elections of officers during the years 1997 through 2009. Also contained in this series are the meeting minutes of the Executive Committee of the SPHPHM and correspondence regarding those meetings, held beginning in 1993 and ending in 2010.
Series III: Administrative records holds general correspondence (1995-2007) between the Executive Committee, members, and other interested parties. The series also includes some annual reports for the years 1994 to 1996, as well as strategic planning documents from 2001 to 2005. Of special note are the large files of some of the special projects the SPHPM was involved in, particularly its advocacy for the Philadelphia smoking ban, enacted in 2006.
Series IV: Programs comprises the bulk of the collection, and dates from 1997 to 2010. Included are program files for lectures, which contain correspondence with speakers and flyers advertising the lectures; planning materials and attendance regarding Medical School Open House Nights, held from 2004 through 2010; public health poster sessions sponsored by the SPHPHM and the College, including abstracts of posters submitted, and dating from 1997 to 2010; and public health recognition nights, honoring those active in the public health community. Some of these files contain cassette tapes. Please note that the cassettes are not able to be played as the Library does not have the required hardware.
