Donations will help ensure the future of the history of medicine and medical heritage in Auckland and in New Zealand.

There is no membership subscription. Instead  we invite you to please consider making a donation. Donations/koha will be invited at the conclusion of each meeting 

Donations can be  made via a paywave EFT pos device at meetings or via the AMHS bank account (Details below) 

AMHS  founded in 1964 is a non-profit organisation managed by a small volunteer Executive Committee.  It has functioned uninterrupted since it began nearly 60 years ago. AMHS relies solely on donations to support its ongoing work, especially the Speakers’ Programme and further development of our extensive archives. AMHS does not receive  government or other external funding.  

The Society’s bank account number is:

Ernest & Marion Davis Memorial Library

Subject to agreement with the Ernest & Marion Davis Library, donations of selected books, medical artifacts and instruments may be made.

Ownership of the books and artefacts is vested in a sub-trust of the A+ Trust, totally independent of the Auckland DHB. This Trust is also set up to accept donations and bequests. Donations to the Ernest and Marion Davis Memorial Library may be made through the A+ Trust, www.aplustrust.org.nz.

The security system and air-conditioning provides a safe storage environment for the books, artefacts and archives. Donations of Medical books are welcome, especially those written by Auckland or NZ authors. Restricted space in the centre means that while no large items can be accommodated, gifts of medical artefacts and instruments are greatly appreciated.
