Scope and Contents note

From the Series: Marc Micozzi (1995-2002) began serving as the Executive Director of the College of Physicians in 1995. He was a former member of the College of Physicians Board of Advisors.

The “Marc Micozzi” series dates from 1976 to 2002, but the bulk of the records date from 1992 to 2002. The records of Marc Micozzi consist of the subseries: “Administration,” “Facilities,” “Historical Medical Library,” “Mütter Museum,” “Personnel,” “Financial,” “Outside Organizations,” “Programs and Special Events,” “Subject Files,” the “Francis Clark Wood Institute,” and “Personal Files.” These subseries hold similar content to the records housed in the previous series, which contain the records of Micozzi’s predecessors.

The “Administration” subseries is comprised of general files, containing memorandum, reports, emails, minutes, and other office files. Of note in the “Administration” subseries is "A Needs Assessment Study" by Wallace, Roberts, and Todd (1992), which offered a building and technological evaluation for the Historical Medical Library’s physical facilities.

The “Facilities” subseries contains information on building renovations from 2000 and 2001 and information on changes in the building’s heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.

The “Historical Medical Library” subseries houses administrative and policy records regarding the History of Medicine Digital Library and a folder on collection development, among other topics. The History of Medicine Digital Library project was developed to share the Historical Medical Library’s collection digitally. These records date from 2001 to 2002.

The records housed in the “Personnel” subseries are particularly robust, in comparison to the records of other executive directors. The records consist of correspondence, memos, and other office files that detail information on the College of Physicians’ personnel. The subseries also contains employee handbooks and an organizational chart that details the position of all personnel in the College of Physician’s employment hierarchy (1998). The records date from 1990 to 2001. Many of the records in this subseries are restricted.

The “Financial” subseries contains a grant proposal for the C. Everett Koop Community Health Information Center (CHIC). CHIC was established by the College in 1995 to provide information resources to the public about health (especially medicine), disease prevention, health care service, and to establish better patient-physician relationships. The “Financial” subseries also contains a detailed report of Mütter Museum admissions statistics from 1997 to 1998. The records of the “Financial” subseries date from 1992 to 2000 and are arranged alphabetically.

The “Outside Organizations” subseries contains programs and organizations not directly affiliated with the College of Physicians, which were most likely collected for reference. These files contain correspondence, invitations to events, annual reports, ephemera, and information about specific institutions. The organizations included are largely located in the Philadelphia region and are usually scientifically or medically based, such as hospitals or medical associations. Micozzi’s collection of outside organization materials consists of records that predate his tenure at the College and most likely came from his own personal files. They are arranged alphabetically by organization name and date from 1987 to 2002.

The next subseries is entitled “Programs and Special Events” and pertains specifically to the Lewis and Clark Dinner and Symposium held in 1997.

The “Subject Files” subseries contains a variety of information including correspondence with individuals regarding the Mütter Museum calendar and information on artwork held by the College of Physicians.

The “Francis Clark Wood Institute” subseries contains reports and reviews of the Francis Clark Wood Institute.

Unlike other Executive Directors, the “Marc Micozzi” series includes personal files that were filed within his records at the College of Physicians and predate his tenure. These records include correspondence with The Woolly Mammoth Theatre regarding their production of the "The Cockburn Rituals" and information about the Franklin Institute’s Interactive Video Science Consortium Health Disc. The records are arranged alphabetically by title and date 1976 to 1998.
