- Committee Histories: "the scope of the Academy's multiple programs for the health and welfare of children can best be appreciated by a review of the background and activities of its many Committees and Councils. Under the general direction of the Executive Board and with the assistance of the Central Office, they work to achieve the Academy's goals and objectives." - Hughes, James G. 1980. American Academy of Pediatrics: the first 50 years. [S.l.]: American Academy of Pediatrics.
- Section Histories: like the committees' list above the sections' histories provides perspective on the value of the activities of the Academy's sections towards the improvement of the health and welfare programs for children.
Oral History Project
Interviews with selected pediatricians and other leaders in the advancement of children's health care are conducted and preserved as part of the center's oral history project. Recordings and transcripts of interviews provide narrative accounts of important developments in the care of children and augment the center's written, recorded, and photographic records of pediatric history.

Top of PagePediatric Artifacts
In 1973 Dr. Robert D. Gauchat donated his valuable collection of pediatric artifacts to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). The collection consists of more than 600 feeding utensils and infantalia, primarily from the 19th and 20th centuries, with some dating back to the time of the Roman Empire.
The Gauchat collection has been augmented over the years by additional donations of more recent artifacts from Dr. Morris Price and the purchase of the collection of Dr. Larrie Sarff. The collection has grown to include over 1,200 artifacts of pediatric history.
Focus of the collection is on the historical role of pediatric objects in daily life with a significant importance placed on the aspect of feeding. The largest portion of the artifacts comes from the 19th and 20th centuries. The collection contains numerous nursing bottles, nipples, pap boats, invalid feeders, feeding spoons, infant formula, and food containers.
- Some objects of note include:
- Ancient Greek and Roman Empire Pottery and Glass Infant Feeders
- Colonial English and American Pewter Nursing Bottles
- Coral and Silver Infant Rattles
- Glass Breast Pumps
- Ceramic Submarine Feeders
The collection contains a number of objects that relate to 19th century medical history which help to provide a fascinating insight into the changes in infant care and feeding. One noteworthy theme illustrated by the collection was peoples' increasing awareness of the importance of hygiene, as demonstrated by the artifacts and their development and changes over time.
