Plastic surgeons have taken uncommon interest in their past. Systematized approaches toward the collection of historical information have characterized the specialty. Plastic surgery is the only discipline to have compiled a complete bibliography of its world's literature. The Archives maintains an ongoing program of acquisition of the oral, written, and personal memorabilia of the notable leaders and events of plastic surgery.
