The Oregon State Medical Society was originally organized in 1874. As time went on, reorganizations occurred and among them were the creation of the Medical History Committee and the Woman's Auxiliary, the first auxiliary in the Northwest. This collection contains a wide variety of material covering routine matters of the Society, as well as relevant major issues of the day, from the 1920s onward.

The Yamhill County Medical Society (YCMS) was formed as an organization for physicians residing in Yamhill County, Oregon. The YCMS was a sub-society of the Oregon Medical Association (OMA), which was a part of the American Medical Association (AMA). The records of YCMS consist of correspondence, reports, meeting minutes, announcements, articles, membership applications, rosters, a diskette, and AMA and congressional booklets.
