**Key synthesis insights**

* The **collection** (`@file_pinax`) serves as a single umbrella linking **all faculty‑meeting events** from 1855‑1864, each of which is **part of** the **Female Medical College of Pennsylvania** (`@female_medical_college_of_pennsylvania`).

* **Ellwood Harvey** repeatedly appears as **Dean** and **chair** of meetings across the decade, demonstrating continuity of leadership.

* **Preston**, **Gillingham Bradell**, and the **Brown & Furcell** partnership are recurring participants, reflecting a stable faculty core.

* The minutes capture **four thematic strands** that recur across years:
  1. **Administrative elections** (Feb 1856) – multiple women elected to positions.
  2. **Academic donations** (Mar 1856) – a monetary gift to the Chair of Chemistry.
  3. **Building‑repair concerns** (Sept 1856) – linked to a commission meeting postponement.
  4. **Medical degree conferral process** (Feb 25 1856) – formal scheduling and committee appointment.

* The **Obstetrics chair** appointment in 1855 persists into 1856, indicating an ongoing departmental structure.

* **Women’s education** is an overarching concept, explicitly tied to the institution and reflected in the subjects of the collection.

* The **file artifacts** (JPEG/TIF images with OCR) provide the documentary evidence for each event, reinforcing the collection’s role as a **digital archive** of the original minutes.
