    Report to the Arequipa Mining Company

    Manuscripts

    Bollaert's papers consist of seven detailed travel journals or notebooks for his South American expeditions, a report to the Arequipa Mining Company in 1826, a few coastal charts of the southern-most parts of South America, and a few coastal profile sketches of Cape Horn, Flores Island, Bold Point, and the lighthouse at Montevideo. The journals include detailed observations about mines and mineral resources, the trade in nitrate, coal, salt, and other chemicals, people and places encountered, archaeological sites, local history, indigenous cultures, notes on his reading in Spanish literature, and speculations on the possibility of building a railroad from Valparaiso to Buenos Aires.

    Pottenger Sanatorium

    Rare Books

    This collection contains approximately 870 publications and printed items, produced by various organizations, related to hospitals, medicine, medical education, and public health, chiefly in Southern California in the 20th century. The materials were compiled as part of the library of the Los Angeles County Medical Association Collection, a professional institution designed to regulate and encourage the development of the medicine in Los Angeles. The bulk of the collection consists of programs for meetings, conventions, and congresses; annual reports for medical societies, hospitals, and medical schools; and doctor, staff, and medical student directories. In addition, there are reprints of speeches and addresses; yearbooks for medical schools; commemorative, biographical, and historical publications; some original historical documents; by-laws and founding documents; and some planning and administrative documents. The materials include items produced by nearly 200 different authors, though many organizations are represented by only a few items. There are over 140 items published by or about the Los Angeles County Medical Association. The collection also contains seven boxes of catalog cards created by the Los Angeles County Medical Association describing the materials in the collection.
