| Abstract:
|
The Northern Dispensary of the City of New York was founded in 1827, and incorporated
a year later by a group of private citizens to offer medical care at minimal or no
cost to the poor in lower Manhattan. The Dispensary moved to a triangular-shaped building
(which is a historical landmark) at the intersection of Christopher Street, Waverly
Place, and Grove Street in Manhattan's Greenwich Village in 1831. The Northern Dispensary
records span from 1827 through the 1950s and include annual reports, minutes of the
board, executive committee meetings, logs of applicants who applied to work as physicians
and visiting committees, as well as photographs and illustrations.
