Randolph Winslow, M.D. (1852-1937) held a membership in the American Medical Association, Southern Surgical and Gynecological Association, and was a Vice President of the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland.
In these roles, Dr. Winslow travelled to many of the AMA’s annual meetings in cities across the country and collected House of Delegates’ badges from each meeting. We recently found the badges from these trips, which he gave to MedChi before his death in 1937. Each of the badges is distinctive, featuring notable images from each of the cities in which the meetings were held.

It’s always fun to look through the old strong-boxes in the archives. You never know what treasures you will find!
Hello Meg, It's hard to believe that these badges evolved into computer-printed tags inserted into a plastic holder.
