Hello,

I am looking for information pertaining to the American Society for Medical 
Technology (ASMT)/American Society for Clinical Laboratory Science (ASCLS) 
and a possible home for the Society's records.

At the University of Minnesota, there are five plus (5+) filing cabinets 
of material related to the ASMT from its inception in 1933 to the mid-1970s. 
These are non University of Minnesota materials. The collection was passed 
along to a faculty member who has since retired. 

She explained that the Society is unable to care for the records themselves 
and that instead they have been maintained over time by select members. 
It is primarily used by Med Tech faculty and history of medical education 
scholars for research purposes.

I am unable to accession what would essentially be the ASMT archives 
into the institutional records of the Academic Health Center at the 
University Archives.

If anybody has any information about an existing archival program for 
ASMT/ASCLS or has suggestions regarding possible locations for the material, 
please contact me for further information.

Thank you,
Erik
