Take a moment to learn more about NYAM's activities and events.
The Malloch Circle is the highest level of the Friends of the Rare Book Room for Friends who support the historical programs of NYAM at a minimum of $1,000 per year. Members of the Malloch Circle meet several times a year for dinners, special presentations of bibliographical and historical interest, and private tours of notable rare book collections.
Support from the Friends of the Rare Book Room contributes to public programs in the history of medicine, the acquisition and cataloging of historical scholarly material, and activities that make the Malloch Suite at NYAM a center for scholarship in the history of medicine and public health and for the study of books and printing.
This special group is named for Archibald Malloch, a protégé of William Osler, who served as the Academy's Librarian from 1926 to 1949.
