About Rochester Medical Museum and Archives

Housed at the Rochester Academy of Medicine, this archive collects and preserves records about the hospitals, nursing schools, and affiliated organizations that make up Rochester Regional Health. It was founded in 1947 during Rochester General Hospital's centennial and began with a focus on that hospital before expanding its collecting to cover the wider system. Visitors can view the gallery on weekdays, and research access requires a written request reviewed by the curator.
