The records of the Health Association of Rochester and Monroe County, which date from the year of its founding in 1917 as the Rochester Tuberculosis Committee, describe the organization’s efforts to prevent, treat, and cure tuberculosis in the Rochester and Monroe County areas. The collection includes founding documents, annual reports, histories, meeting minutes, photographs, newsletters, reports, glass slides, and ephemera. These documents chart the development of health issues as they arose throughout the 20th century as well as the spread of the public health movement from urban to outlying areas.
