Custodial history
The majority of this collection (1930-1980) was retrieved in September 2016 from an offsite storage account belonging to the Beth Israel Medical Center.
Incomplete minutes for the years 1988-1998 had previously arrived at the Mount Sinai Archives as part of a large April 2015 shipment of material that was in the custody of the Continuum Health Partners legal department. (For a complete discussion of their provenance, please refer to the Beth Israel Medical Center Records finding aid.) These records arrived in an extremely disorderly condition; during processing, identifiable records series which had become dispersed across multiple containers, such as the present collection of Medical Board minutes, were consolidated into discrete collections.
