Short Description of Collection
The collection of records of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) documents the society from its founding in 1906 through the present. This collection contains materials relating to the Association's Officers including correspondence and reports. There are records covering the incorporation of the society and the Journal of Biological Chemistry and the formation of the journal Molecular and Cellular Proteomics. The ASBMB collection includes the many committees that were formed over the years; some of these committees no longer exist. This collection contains numerous records of various meetings held by ASBMB over the years. Meetings of the executive board date back to 1906 and annual meetings begin in 1934 and continue to 2002. Organizations affiliated with ASBMB, most through an executive officer's membership, are also included in this collection. The collection is organized into five series: Officers and Executive Council, Publications, Committees, Meetings, and Affiliated Organizations.
