The Center for the History of Family Medicine (CHFM) helps promote and preserve the historic heritage of family medicine.
Housed at the American Academy of Family Physicians’’ headquarters and administered by the AAFP Foundation, the CHFM serves as the principal resource center for the collection, conservation, study, exhibition, and dissemination of materials relating to the history and evolution of the specialty of family medicine in the United States.
As the only historical repository devoted exclusively to preserving the history of the specialty, the CHFM is the collective memory of family medicine. The CHFM collection includes decades of documents, photographs, artifacts, and memorabilia that are professionally cataloged and preserved in a climate-controlled environment.
