Organizational History
The Hudson County Medical Club was formed in 1960 as an amalgamation of three former medical clubs: Jersey City Practitioners, Jersey City Practitioners and Surgeons, and Aesculapian Clubs. The earliest of which dates from 1851 when the Hudson County Medical Society was founded. The Hudson Medical Club is but one of many similar organizations established in New Jersey on the local or county level. Minutes of the monthly meetings of these clubs reveal many scientific achievements, and the reading of these minutes is actually a history of modern medicine in the state. As of 1989, the Hudson County Medical Club celebrated its 84th anniversary and thirty physicians were still active members.
Arrangement
Minutes and records are filed first, followed by material arranged alphabetically.
