Who we are
The Chicago Area Medical Archivists (CAMA) is an informal group of archivists, librarians, healthcare professionals, and others interested in medical history in the Chicago area. CAMA is represented by a variety of professional and clinical specialty associations, academic medical centers, universities, hospitals and local historians.
What we do
Since 2002, CAMA has served as a professional network to share information and resources through meetings, an annual symposium, and a mailing list.
We promote collaborative efforts among participating members and increased awareness and appreciation of the Chicago area’s important medical history for the research community and general public.
Meetings are open to all interested persons, who should feel free to add their names to the group’s e-mail mailing list.
