American Academy of Neurology Records

Historical Note

The Academy was incorporated on March 13, 1948. Neurology was undergoing profound changes as a recognized clinical and scientific specialty in the United States at that time, although there was already a long history to the field in terms of science and clinical practice. As a broad area of research, the neurological sciences drew upon work by anatomists, internists, physiologists, and psychiatrists, as well as the many who already identified themselves primarily as neurologists. The American Neurological Association (ANA) began in 1875, but restricted its membership to senior investigators and clinicians. The American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology was established in 1935, reflecting in its name the expectation that a substantial proportion of practitioners would combine aspects of the two disciplines. Thereafter a variety of factors contributed to distance practice and research in psychiatry from specialization in neurological problems. The needs of military medicine in World War II and the subsequent founding of Veterans Administration hospitals hastened the recognition of neurology as a distinct specialty, and several leading academic medical centers followed suit in this respect by establishing neurology departments. With the number of younger clinicians and residents growing, many leaders in the field decided to challenge the exclusive ANA and establish an organization open to all qualified individuals. The first business meeting of the Academy was held on June 13, 1948 in Chicago. The following summer, June 1-3, 1949, the organization gathered for the initial scientific program at the French Lick Springs Hotel in French Lick, Indiana. The journal Neurology debuted in January 1951.

Provenance

In 1988, the History Committee of the American Academy of Neurology undertook to select an academic medical library to be a suitable repository for archival records of the Academy, where the records could be open to the public for purposes of studying the development of this medical specialty in the United States. The Library of Washington University School of Medicine (since 1995, the Bernard Becker Medical Library) offered the services and resources of its own archival section for this purpose. The Executive Board of the Academy voted to approve the deposit in 1989. The first deposit of Academy records at the Library was received in November 1990. A new deposit agreement was negotiated between the Academy Library and Archives Committee and the Becker Library in 2003 and approved and signed by both the Academy Executive Director and the Director of the Library.

Access and Use

A major segment of the holdings is open and accessible for research. Certain categories of documentation, however, carry restrictions on access. For detailed information, contact the Archives and Rare Book Section (arb@wusm.wustl.edu). The Library does not hold copyright.

Scope and Content

The oldest portions of the collection were gathered and preserved at the behest of the Academy’s History Committee. A.B. (Abe) Baker of the University of Minnesota, arguably the most influential founder and the first president of the organization, also headed this committee when it began. Until 1989, the files were maintained at Academy headquarters in Minneapolis. Series 6 and 7 of the record group reflect the early efforts of the committee in drawing together (and inevitably, to some degree, mixing together) what the members deemed to be historically significant documents relating to the early years of the Academy. Later generated materials in other series reflect more directly the major functions of the organization and its growing staff of employees. Procedures for selecting archival documents were revised by both parties in 2005. These changes have affected how the materials are stored, arranged, and described once they are received by the Library. The organization of Series 26 reflects these changes. This collection includes various forms of documentation produced for annual meetings, Executive Board records, membership data, financial records, materials concerning examinations, newsletters, publicity files, and tapes and abstracts from scientific sessions at annual meetings, among others.

Series 10: Committees and Other Administrative Matters

Files in this series were compiled in Academy headquarters by staff assigned to serve as liaisons to the various committees of the organization. The files dating from the period from 1949 through the 1970s were received as part of accession 91-026 (the first AAN accession by the Library). They are arranged for the most part in alphabetical order. Other files in the series were received as part of accession 98-025 and identified in the shipping inventory as “Committee Files.” Many of these files fit this description, but there are also some evidently created for other administrative functions. A virtual subseries, beginning in box 20 and extending through box 24, have a filing code as part of the folder tab information. Other parts of this classification seem not to have been transmitted in the shipment marked “committee files” and their locations are unaccounted for. Box 28 concludes with a portion of accession 2005-003, four files, 1988-1999, on the journal Neurology, the so-called “neuroimaging issue,” and on a business plan for management of concussion in sports.

Series 13: Essay Contest and Award Files

The Academy recognizes distinguished achievements and contributions with named awards made at the annual meeting. The prize with the longest history is the S. Weir Mitchell Award, given since 1955 to a junior member for an essay or research-based manuscript. Since 1962, AAN has awarded several prizes for a student essay contest in neurology. The goal of the essay contest is to stimulate interest in neurology as a profession, with specific emphasis on the history of neurology. Prizes include the G. Milton Shy Award in clinical neurology, the Saul R. Korey award in experimental neurology, the Roland P. Mackay award for historical aspects of neurology, and the extended neuroscience research award.

Also in this series are files on lectures for the scientific program, research fellowships, and the Potamkin prize. The invited lecture awards are the Robert Wartenberg lecture for a neurologist engaged in clinically relevant research, the Netter lecture for a neuroeducator involved in clinically relevant research, and the Cotzias lecture for excellence in neuroscience. The Bruce S. Schoenberg Lecture is an award for a young investigator in neuroepidemiology from outside the U.S. and Canada. Awards chosen from abstracts for the scientific program are the Farber lecture, the Geschwind Award, the McHenry award, and the Springer Award. The Farber lecture recipient works on brain tumor research and the Norman Geschwind award is for work in behavioral neurology. The Lawrence C. McHenry award is for research in the history of neurology. The Fred Springer Award is for Parkinson’s Disease research. The research fellowships in neuropharmacology and the travelling fellowship in movement disorders fund residents that are doing research. The Potamkin prize, awarded since 1988, is for Alzheimer’s disease research. For more information on the history, purpose, and recipients of these awards, see lectures and awards section of the annual meeting programs (Series 1) and AAN directories.
