The early records of this society were carefully collected by the late
Dr. Sylvester D. Willard and published in one volume covering the
proceedings from the date of its organization, March 18, 1806, to June
10, 1851. The growth of the society and its energetic work in promot-
ing the interests of the medical profession prompted the appointment
of a committee to continue the work inaugurated bv Dr. Willard. At



196

a meeting held June 14, 1870, Dr. James vS. Bailey, Dr. Charles H.
Porter, and Dr. T. D. Crothers were named to supervise the publica-
tion of the proceedings of the society from June 10, 1851, to June 14,
1870. These volumes embrace the records from 1806 to 1870; they
also contain biographies of nearly two hundred members and many
portraits, and aside from placing on record the transactions of the so-
siety, help to complete the medical history of Albany city and county,
and trace the professional career of those identified with the work of
the society. The transactions since 1880 have been published in the
Albany Medical Annals, a monthly journal managed by an editorial
committee under the auspices of the society. Many interesting papers
on medical topics and matters of interest to the profession have been
published in this journal. Sinte 1891 this journal is published as the
" Albany Medical Annals representing the Alumni Association of the
Albany Medical College." From 1891 to 1892 this journal was edited
by Dr. Willis G. Macdonald. From 1892 to 1897 by Dr. Howard Van
Rensselaer. The present editors are Dr. Andrew MacFarlane and
Dr. J. Montgomery Mosher.
