Abstract |
An outline of the careers and personalities of the three founders in 1898 of the Medical Library Association: Sir William Osler, George Milbry Gould, and Margaret Ridley Charlton. Margaret Ridley Charlton was born at Laprairie, Quebec, and educated almost entirely at home until the age of 16, when she joined the first group of girls to be admitted to the Montreal High School. She was the Assistant Librarian of the McGill Medical Library from 1895 to 1914, and Librarian of the Academy of Medicine in Toronto from 1914 to 1922. William Osler was a world-famous professor of medicine at McGill University before moving on to Johns Hopkins University and then Oxford University. A graduate of McGill's Faculty of Medicine in 1872, he was appointed professor in the university's Faculty of Medicine in 1874. He remained at McGill until 1884. George Milbry Gould was an American physician and served as the first president of the Association of Medical Librarians (now the Medical Library Association) from 1898 to 1901. The Medical Library Association was an international organization which led the way for other specialized library associations in Canada and the United States.
