History of Medicine in Rochester

The library at the Rochester Academy of Medicine contains many taped interviews of Rochester area physicians. These were done in conjunction with the library committee, James Stewart, M.D., chair. The interviews were done from 1997 through 2000 and are available for review or loan. These tapes archive the remembrances of the various physicians about the early days of medicine in Rochester and collectively paint an interesting picture of medicine as practiced then. Six of these interviews have been transcribed to print and will be available here.
