The careers and personalities of the three founders of the Medical Library Association, Sir William Osler, George Milbry Gould, and Margaret Ridley Charlton are outlined, followed by a review of their role in the founding of the association. The career of Sir William Osler is well documented in existing literature, both in medical history and medical librarianship; the biographies of George Milbry Gould and Margaret Ridley Charlton are less known, and this article describes their lives in relation to the founding of the association. The issue of responsibility for the association's founding is explored, and primary recognition is attributed to Margaret Charlton. The author attempts to follow the tradition of Harvey Cushing in his The Life of Sir William Osler in allowing the characters to speak in their own words as much as possible.
本文概述了医学图书馆协会三位创始人威廉·奥斯勒爵士、乔治·米尔布里·古尔德和玛格丽特·里德利·查尔顿的职业生涯与性格特点，随后回顾了他们在协会创立过程中所扮演的角色。威廉·奥斯勒爵士的职业生涯在医学史和医学图书馆学的现有文献中已有详尽记载；乔治·米尔布里·古尔德和玛格丽特·里德利·查尔顿的传记则鲜为人知，本文描述了他们与协会创立相关的人生经历。探讨了协会创立的责任归属问题，主要归功于玛格丽特·查尔顿。作者试图沿袭哈维·库欣在《威廉·奥斯勒爵士的一生》中的传统，尽可能让人物用自己的语言说话。
