This series contains financial records of the Edward Mason Dispensary located at 65 India Street in Portland, Maine.

Among stipulations included with the gift, which was announced in 1911, was that the building would be known as the Edward Mason Dispensary, and that the College would establish an endowment fund for the maintenance of the dispensary. The dispensary was owned by the College until 1921, when the Medical School ceased to exist. Pledges for the endowment, correspondence, monthly financial reports, deeds and other documents are included.

Acknowledgment of non-neutrality

The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, like all archives and special collections libraries, is the creation of human beings who have collected, organized, and described things in ways that reflect personal, cultural, societal, and institutional biases. Although we strive to preserve and present collections in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and are represented in the collections, we acknowledge that our systems are neither neutral nor perfect. We encourage you to let us know if you encounter materials, descriptive language, or practices that are offensive or harmful, particularly those for which inadequate context or warning is offered. We are committed to modifying and updating our descriptive practices to use respectful and inclusive terminology and appreciate your help in this work. We look forward to supporting you in your research and learning together.
