Manuscripts
This series contains files from the Los Angeles Medical Library, a non-profit corporation formed in the wake of the Los Angeles County Medical Association's decision to close its Library, with the sole purpose of saving the library's collection. Though it shared some of the same officers as the Friends of the LACMA Library, the two organizations were not legally affiliated. Materials include foundational documents such as bylaws and articles of incorporation, documents related to tax status, and correspondence.

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 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and addresses; yearbooks for medical schools; commemorative, biographical, and historical publications; some original historical documents; by-laws and founding documents; and some planning and administrative documents.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.
