Full Description:

This database is a list of Indiana physicians and midwives by self-declaration in census or to an organized medical society. Information has been gathered from the Indiana Census roles of 1850, 1860, and 1870, from lists of physicians from the Indiana State Board of Public Health, as well as some state records from 1880. County histories and other local histories plus obituaries in medical journals were also used, along with other miscellaneous sources. The cutoff date for inclusion is licensure by 1900. The sources consulted for this database are not error free, thus this database cannot be considered error free. The inclusion in this list in no way is a comment on the competency or training of a person.
