Historical/Biographical Note:

Surgery was an important part of the work of the Neurological Institute of New York from its founding in 1909. It became part of the Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center at its opening in 1928 and was merged into Presbyterian Hospital in 1943. The Neurological Institute also served as the department of neurology for the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons.  A separate department of neurological surgery was not established until 1949. J. Lawrence Pool was its first chairman (1949-1972).

Scope and Content:

Guest book recording visitors to the Department of Neurological Surgery from its founding in 1949 until 1987.  Information includes the visitor’s signature, date of visit, and academic affiliation.  The overwhelming majority of the guests appear to be fellow neurological surgeons and are international in scope.
