Manuscripts
The Manuscripts series, which contains roughly 700 items, chiefly contain the works of George Dock, some of which relate to his autobiography, but chiefly to his medical work. These include articles, speeches, essays, book reviews, translations, notes, as well as copies of his autobiographies "Apologia Pro Vita Mea" and "My Medical Education." There are also several items written by other medical professionals. There are also a large amount of material related to Dock's work with several hospitals and their administration. This material includes reports, salary information, and other documents related to Barnes Hospital, University of Michigan Medical School and St. Mary's Hospital in Philadelphia. There is also a good amount of material related to medical students including student schedules, grades and evaluations, guidelines for students, lectures and George Dock's ideas regarding teaching medicine.

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and addresses; yearbooks for medical schools; commemorative, biographical, and historical publications; some original historical documents; by-laws and founding documents; and some planning and administrative documents.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