Provenance According to the scant documentation found, these scrapbooks were originally donated to UAB’s Reynolds Historical Library and the Alabama Museum of the Health Sciences.   The Jefferson County Medical Society (JCMS) and the JCMS Auxiliary scrapbooks were donated to the Lister Hill Library of the Health Sciences on April 18, 1972, by auxiliary historian Mrs. Robert E. Wiltsie.  Library director Sarah C. Brown accepted the books and later moved them into the Reynolds Historical Library.  Currently, no explanation has been found as to how the remaining scrapbooks originally came into the possession of the Reynolds or the museum, or who first donated them.  On January 20, 1987, all of the scrapbooks in this collection were donated to the newly established Jefferson County Medical Society/UAB Health Sciences Archives.  An inventory prepared at the time confirms the donation and provides a brief description of each of the scrapbooks now contained in this manuscript collection.  The scrapbooks remained unprocessed in the JCMS/UAB Health Sciences Archives until that archives was disbanded in 1990.  In December of 1994, all remaining materials from the closed JCMS/UAB Health Sciences Archives, including these scrapbooks, were transferred to the UAB Archives.
