Series concerns the official acceptance of a medical school, and appointments of faculty.

Series concerns the early years of the medical school, when classes were taught in temporary buildings.

As part of its mandate, HSIMS (Health Sciences Information and Media Service, formerly called Medical Audio Visual Services [MAVS]) created many videocassettes for the Medical School after its formation and made them available as teaching aids, public awareness tools and medical learning resources for students, staff and faculty. They were written, produced, directed and designed by the staff of HSIMS and also involved students, staff and faculty from Memorial and affiliated teaching hospitals in the St. John’s area. They were retained in the HSIMS storage area in the Health Sciences Centre.

The videocassettes cover the many projects and subjects worked on by HSIMS during the years 1978-1991, including community activities, health education, outreach to youth, and many other topics dealing with medicine and the provision of health care in Newfoundland and Labrador.

The plans provide a detailed look at the estimated and speculative development of Memorial University's new St. John's campus. They show proposed sites of buildings, parking lots, student residences, faculty living quarters, etc., all in relation to St. John's landmarks and locations. The Master Plan is at the back of the report: the text and drawings explain why the plan takes the form it does and shows how it may be transformed from a two-dimensional paper pattern to an actual place that once can inhabit and walk about. The sections examined in detail throughout the plans include: 1. The University and the City; 2. The Academic Brief; 3. The Topographical Study;4. The South Campus and the Junior Division; 5. The Building Pattern; 6. The Circulation System; 7. The Landscape Design; 8. The Schematic Master Plan; 9. The Main Block; 10. The Library; 11. Convocation Hall; 12. Physical Education; 13. University Theatre; 14. South Campus Link Block; 15. The Senior College; 16. Architectural Character.

The collection includes Newfoundland Medical Board Directories (1915-2006) and Registers of licenses issued by the Newfoundland Medical Board (1894-1982). Newfoundland Medical Board Directories are an annual publication providing a complete list of medical practitioners resident in Newfoundland who are registered and licensed. Their professional address, and the date and location of their alma mater are given. The registers of licenses issued to medical practitioners usually indicate the doctor’s name, the date they were given the license, their address, the license number, and their alma mater. A menu from the Newfoundland Medical Association’s annual dinner (1955) is also in the collection.
