	Abstract:	The American Association for Thoracic Surgery (AATS) was founded by Dr. Willy Meyer in 1917 as a venue devoted to exchanging ideas regarding the growing field of thoracic surgery. Other founding members of the AATS include Alexis Carrel, Armistead C. Crump, Nathan W. Green, Howard Lilienthal, Rudolph Matas, and Samuel Robinson. Institutional material, historical manuscripts and data, biographies, member information, curriculum vitae, bibliographies, correspondence, minutes, transcripts, programs, reports, reprints, and photographic media document the association's history and administrative practices and the professional accomplishments of its members.

Historical Note

In 1913 Dr. Willy Meyer, director of surgery at the German Hospital in New York, presented a paper on "Extrathoracic and Intrathoracic Esophagoplasty . . ." at the American Medical Association Annual Meeting. Disappointed by the lack of interest in his topic, Meyer decided to create a venue devoted to exchanging ideas regarding the growing field of thoracic surgery. He began by inviting nineteen local colleagues to his home on February 20, 1917, and founding the New York Society for Thoracic Surgery. This was to be a society "for" thoracic surgery rather than "of" thoracic surgeons to encourage anyone with an interest in the field to participate. The original group of twenty men elected Meyer as permanent chairman and agreed to work toward forming a national organization.

The American Association for Thoracic Surgery (AATS) was formed at the American Medical Association Annual Meeting on June 7, 1917. It consisted of fifty founding members, including Meyer, Alexis Carrel, Armistead C. Crump, Nathan W. Green, Howard Lilienthal, Rudolph Matas, and Samuel Robinson. The first annual meeting of the AATS was held on June 10, 1918; the first constitution was adopted the following year. Meeting attendance grew slowly but steadily over the association's first two decades before expanding rapidly after WWII. Fifty years after its founding, AATS membership had grown to 685 and the annual meeting had expanded significantly.

As membership grew, the association developed mechanisms for carrying out educational and administrative functions. Papers presented at the annual meetings were published in the American Medical Association's Archives of Surgery before the AATS began publishing The Journal of Thoracic Surgery (now The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery) in October 1931 with Dr. Evarts Ambrose Graham as its first editor. In 1951 the AATS established the Evarts A. Graham Memorial Traveling Fellowship to bring foreign surgeons to North American medical facilities to train in cardiothoracic surgery. In 1970 the AATS engaged the firm of Professional Relations and Research Institute for the professional management of the association.

Collection Summary

Institutional material, historical manuscripts and data, biographies, member information, curriculum vitae, bibliographies, correspondence, minutes, transcripts, programs, reports, reprints, and photographic media (11 linear feet, 1899-2002) document the history and administrative practices of the American Association for Thoracic Surgery and the professional accomplishments of its members.

Historical information about the founding and growth of the association can be found in Series I: Historical and Institutional Material. The Constitution and By-Laws of the Association are housed first in this series. For information on the administration of the AATS, the researcher should consult materials in Series III-V. The vast majority of materials in these three series are minutes, transcripts, and/or agendas from various council, committee, and board meetings. Series III: Annual Meetings gathers minutes that document general association business and activities, the decisions of the Executive Officers of the Council of the AATS, and the reports of various committees. Additional council and committee meeting minutes are located in Series IV: Executive Office, along with reports, financial ledgers, and correspondence from the association's first fifty years. The minutes in Series V: Graham Education and Research Foundation document the meetings of its Board of Directors and the Evarts A. Graham Memorial Traveling Fellowship Committee. This last series also includes copies of the reports made by the traveling fellows.

Member information, statistics, and professional activities are documented in several places throughout the collection. The five subseries in Series II: Membership contain member lists, biographical sketches and data, statistical reports from the Membership Committee, curriculum vitae and bibliographies, and photographs. The volume Founding of the American Association for Thoracic Surgery (1917-1967) also contains biographies of fourteen founding members, including Willy Meyer and Evarts A. Graham. Series III: Annual Meetings has a subseries of programs that include abstracts of papers presented by AATS members and their professional colleagues. Reprints of articles written by members such as Armistead C. Crump are gathered in Series VI: Member Writings.

Series II: Membership, 1899-1993 , 1.48 l.f., 1 oversize volume
	This series is divided into five subseries and contains biographical, professional, and statistical information about the association's members. The Member Lists subseries begins with a volume devoted to the founders and officers; the remaining lists are ordered chronologically. Biographical drafts, obituaries, patents, and programs for events honoring specific members are grouped under the Biographies subseries. This is the only subseries that is arranged alphabetically rather than chronologically. Of special note is the "Biography of Founders" material, which includes the drafts for the Biographical Sketches section of the Founding of the American Association for Thoracic Surgery (1917-1967) in Series I. Other notable items are the original patents for medical equipment located in the folders for Crump and Meyer. The third subseries, Membership Committee Data, contains statistical information about members (ages, membership status, available places in the active membership, etc.). The curriculum vitae and bibliographies in the fourth subseries were collected from senior members circa 1980. The fifth subseries contains photographs of early association members.

Series III: Annual Meetings, 1918-2002 , 4.77 l.f., 2 oversize volumes
	By far the largest series in the collection, Series III consists of minutes, transcripts, agendas, reports, memoranda, financial statements, programs, and registers from the association's annual spring meetings. These materials document administrative decisions, general business and financial statements, committee reports, and papers written by members and other professional surgeons. There are two member attendance registers spanning 1957-1973, followed by two chronologically arranged subseries. The Programs subseries spans the 2nd to the 82nd annual meetings with a continuous run of programs from the 8th through the 80th. Beginning with the 75th meeting, additional programs for special symposia are filed with the main meeting programs. Most programs contain abstracts of the scientific papers presented at the meetings. All program books are available for review at www.aats.org. The Council Minutes subseries contains minutes, transcripts, and other materials that are divided into Council, Business, Executive, and/or Scientific sessions. While the earlier meetings are not well represented, particularly the 23rd through 43rd, there is a continuous run of minutes from the 44th through the 79th annual meetings.

	Executive Office materials provide insight into AATS business and member activities throughout the year and are divided among four subseries: Minutes, Correspondence, Finances, and Reports. The minutes are divided into four sub-subseries: Council Meetings, Interim Council Meetings, Special Council Meetings, and Committee Meetings. The various meetings of the Executive Officers of the Council of the AATS typically occur in the fall and winter. The correspondence is arranged chronologically and covers various professional and organizational issues discussed by AATS founders, officers, and members. Two treasurer's ledgers make up the Finances subseries. The final series, Reports, contains meeting reports from the association's first six years and transcripts of discussions about papers read to the AATS.
