History
Hamot Archive
The Hamot Health Foundation Archive is a repository for all the archival and historical records that document Hamot’s history, both as a medical institution that has achieved national recognition and as an integral part of the Erie community.
Mission Statement
The mission of the Hamot Health Foundation Archives is to identify, collect, preserve and provide access to non-medical hospital records, personal papers of enduring value from medical center administrators and staff, and other documentation of the professional and social history of Hamot from its founding in 1881 to the present for the use of medical center staff and associates, scholars and the general public.
Collections
The Hamot Health Foundation Archive contains documents pertaining to all areas of Hamot Health Foundation. Major collections relate to the Medical Center itself, Hamot Aid Society and Hamot Hospital School of Nursing. The Hamot Health Foundation Archive includes bylaws, articles of incorporation, meeting minutes, annual reports, official institutional publications and press releases, directories, financial reports and statements, property deeds, blueprints, policy and procedure manuals, employee handbooks, photographs, slides, video and other media.
