Abstract:
Joseph Alfred Andrews was born in 1858 and died in 1928. He received an M.D. degree from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1876 and subsequently specialized in ophthalmology and otolaryngology. Dr. Andrews had medical offices in New York City from the early 1890s until 1896 and was active, there, in professional affairs, serving on the staffs of several hospitals, publishing in local medical journals, and fulfilling assignments in ophthalmological societies. In 1897 he visited Santa Barbara, California for medical reasons and subsequently moved there permanently, becoming a well-respected physician in the community. The papers span twenty years and cover aspects of his professional life (notes, correspondence, committee affairs) and of his social life (correspondence, invitations), but almost totally missing are any personal aspects. The collection does afford some interesting glimpses of the problems and internal politics facing those concerned with the administration of New York's public charity hospitals of the time.
