Description
Summary:The Society of Arkhangelsk Doctors (OAB) was founded in 1863 and was one of the first public medical organizations in Russia. The Society has been active for 55 years. Despite the small number (8–15 people), the OAB immediately began to publish the minutes and proceedings of the Society. Copies of publications were distributed to libraries and similar societies in other regions of the Russian Empire. In the unique library of the Kronstadt Naval Hospital, 30 copies of the protocols and works of the Society of Arkhangelsk Doctors from 1864 to 1896 are preserved. Immediately after the revolution (1917) in the Arkhangelsk province, as well as throughout Russia, the work of the OAB was suspended. The activities of the Society played an important role in uniting the doctors of the province, contributed to the growth of their qualifications and the development of health care in the Russian North. Общество Архангельских врачей (ОАВ) образовано в 1863 году и явилось одной из первых общественных медицинских организаций в России. Свою деятельность Общество вело на протяжении 55 лет. Несмотря на немногочисленный состав (8–15 человек), ОАВ сразу же стало публиковать протоколы и труды Общества. Экземпляры публикаций распространялись по библиотекам и аналогичным обществам других регионов Российской Империи. В уникальной библиотеке Кронштадтского военно-морского госпиталя сохранились 30 экземпляров протоколов и трудов Общества Архангельских врачей с 1864 по 1896 год. Сразу после революции (1917 г.) в Архангельской губернии, как и по всей России, работа ОАВ была приостановлена. Деятельность Общества сыграла важную роль в объединении медиков губернии, способствовала росту их квалификации и развитию здравоохранения на Русском Севере.
