This paper discusses the origins of the British Optical Association Museum and how it increased in prominence. Its value for matters such as historical research, pride of possession of members, publicity, recognition of the status of the profession, and demonstration of the long and distinguished history of the profession are examined. The arguments in support of the museum in the first half of the twentieth century by John Hamer Sutcliffe, and later his protégé George Giles, are highlighted.

The Optometric HIstorical Society (OHS) was one of many similar public history organizations created during the third wave of the preservation movement in the United States. This article traces the genealogy of the OHS mission through American heritage resource law and delineates the social and political context that lead to its passage.

An online search for articles on the history of optometry and other healthcare fields is reported and is compared to a similar search conducted in 2007. A possible explanation for comparatively fewer articles on the history of optometry is explored. Brief comments are made on the significance of optometry history, along with suggestions on ways to enhance its study.

This paper looks at optometry museums around the world. There are only five general optometry museums: three are hosted by optometric institutions in three countries, Australia, Britain and the U.S.A., one is hosted by a Canadian university that has an optometry school, and one is in private hands in Southbridge, Massachusetts. They are supplemented by six excellent corporate museums in France, Germany and Italy, but these museums focus on either spectacles or ophthalmic instruments, rather than optometry in general. Two of the optometry museums were founded over 100 years ago, and two have had their 50th birthday, but can they survive forever? Museums are expected to preserve collections for posterity for the edification and enjoyment of future generations, yet all institutions are at risk of disruption: few institutions last more than a couple of hundred years. This paper discusses strategies optometry museums might pursue to guard against mismanagement and neglect and provide for the protection of their collections in the event of the demise of the museum or its host institution.

Maria Dablemont (1919-1992), co-founder of the Optometric Historical Society (OHS) and head librarian for the American Optometric Association (AOA) from 1964 to 1988, had a profound impact on the profession of optometry in the United States. At a crucial moment for the AOA, Dablemont helped to pioneer a new, forward-looking professional identity for the American optometrist, and articulate an origin story that mapped the future the association was plotting for the profession to its past. In part one of this biography, we havedrawn a sketch of Dablemont’s life before joining the AOA (1919-1964) and explore how her life experience made her the perfect agent to help the AOA to craft a new ideal of what it could mean to be an optometrist. In part two, we will trace Dablemont’s personal and professional development through the lens of the history of the International Library, Archives & Museum and the OHS from 1964 until her retirement in 1988.
Maria ablemont(1919-1992)是验光历史学会(OHS)的联合创始人，也是1964年至1988年美国验光协会(AOA)的首席图书管理员，她对美国的验光专业产生了深远的影响。在AOA的关键时刻，Dablemont为美国验光师开创了一个新的、前瞻性的职业身份，并清晰地讲述了一个起源故事，将协会为该职业规划的未来映射到过去。在这本传记的第一部分，我们描绘了Dablemont在加入美国眼科协会(1919-1964)之前的生活，并探讨了她的生活经历如何使她成为帮助美国眼科协会打造验光师新理想的完美代理人。在第二部分中，我们将通过国际图书馆、档案与博物馆和职业健康与服务中心从1964年到1988年退休的历史镜头来追溯Dablemont的个人和职业发展。

The year 1969 was a time of tremendous change in American society as well as in the profession of optometry. In the broader culture, academics, students and community activists organized grassroots campaigns to change institutions from the bottom up. For optometry, this movement began with the January 1968 “LaGuardia” meeting, when a small group of optometrists planned a campaign to transform the profession by agitating for the American Optometric Association (AOA) to advocate for the expansion of the scope of practice. Ripe for change, the AOA membership began to respond. In June of 1968, despite early opposition, OHS founder Henry W Hofstetter was the first full-time academic to serve as president of the AOA. Only one year after La Guardia in February of 1969, the AOA held the Airlie House Conference which set a new course for the profession. When the movement to change optometry gained traction, the keepers of the culture began to recognize the need to document the past. In December of 1969, Hofstetter and the AOA Librarian Maria Dablemont founded the Optometric Historical Society to ensure the history of optometry would not be lost. This first-person reminiscence by Irving Bennett, O.D. recounts his recollections of the individuals and events instrumental in the formation of the OHS.
1969年是美国社会以及视光专业发生巨大变化的一年。在更广泛的文化中，学者、学生和社区活动家组织了基层运动，自下而上地改变制度。对于验光来说，这场运动始于1968年1月的“拉瓜迪亚”会议，当时一小群验光师计划发起一场运动，通过鼓动美国验光协会(AOA)提倡扩大实践范围，来改变这个行业。变革时机成熟了，AOA成员开始做出回应。1968年6月，不顾早期的反对，OHS创始人亨利·W·霍夫斯泰特(Henry W . Hofstetter)成为首位担任AOA主席的全职学者。1969年2月，在La Guardia事件发生仅仅一年之后，AOA召开了Airlie House会议，为这个行业开辟了新的道路。当改变验光的运动得到关注时，这种文化的守护者开始意识到有必要记录过去。1969年12月，Hofstetter和AOA图书管理员Maria Dablemont成立了验光历史协会，以确保验光的历史不会丢失。欧文·班尼特的第一人称回忆录，吸毒过量，叙述了他对OHS形成过程中重要的个人和事件的回忆。
