- Abstract
This article presents information about the Medical Library Association of Great Britain and Ireland. It is well known that William Osler, the famous Canadian physician,1,2 was one of the founders of the Medical Library Association in North America but it is less well known that he was also a founder, and first President, of the Medical Library Association of Great Britain and Ireland. There is no definitive evidence, but it is thought that the origins of the MLA lie in a meeting in 1897 between Osler and Margaret Ridley Charlton, then the Assistant Medical Librarian at McGill University in Montreal. Osler had received his medical qualification at McGill, in 1872, and had taught there until 1884.
