Abstract: The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene records, 1908-2013 (inclusive), 1930s-1980s (bulk), reflect the activities and development of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene between the early 1900s and the early 2000s, including the 1951 merger of four societies to create the modern Society (the American Academy of Tropical Medicine; the American Foundation for Tropical Medicine; the National Malaria Society; and the Society of Tropical Medicine) and the Society’s involvement with other medical organizations, including: the American Medical Association; the American Type Culture Collection; American Society of Parasitology; the Gorgas Memorial Institute of Tropical and Preventive Medicine; and the American Society of Tropical Veterinary Medicine and Hygiene. Records also reflect the activities of Society subgroups, particularly the American Committee on Arthropod-borne Viruses (ACAV), which was established in 1961 and made a formal part of the Society in 1987. Records consist of: correspondence; agendas; meeting minutes; charges; publications; photographs; slides, audio and video recordings; conference programs; paper abstracts; and paper proposals.
