The Health Association Libraries Section began in 1952 when the Medical Society Libraries Group was formed as a special interest group of the Medical Library Association (MLA). Librarians sought a forum to discuss the unique issues that medical society libraries faced, and many of the programs of the Group focused on these issues. For many years, the Group consisted almost exclusively of state and local medical society/ academy librarians, representing the predominant type of society library at the time.
