Abstract
The Division on the History of Clinical Chemistry, successor to the Archives Committee of the American Association for Clinical Chemistry, has accepted the responsibility for chronicling the origins of its profession and its organization with exhibits, histories of local sections, and biographies of notable figures in clinical chemistry from the past and present. A particularly interesting period in the history of the AACC was that around 1948 when the society was formed. In this report, I have collected and edited the accounts of several early members who recalled their experiences and the hospital laboratory scene at the time of the founding of the AACC in New York.
