The Medical Museums Association was created to promote long term contacts among individuals, institutions, and organizations involved in collecting historical artifacts and objects of interest to the health sciences. We met once a year in conjunction with the American Association for the History of Medicine and the Archivists and Librarians in the History of the Health Sciences.

The Medical Museums Association has formally merged with the Archivists and Librarians in the History of the Health Sciences to form the Librarians, Archivists, and Museum Professionals in the History of the Health Science (LAMPHHS).
