This history is based largely on the minutes of the secretary of the International Society for Analytical Cytology, proceedings of conferences, workshops, and other meetings, personal correspondence with officers of the Society, and discussions with charter members of the Society.
It is also a history of the development of the field of analytical cytology.
We welcome comments from members of the Society and other on the accuracy of the history and suggestions for additions. Particularly invited are comments on the themes and intents of the various conferences and workshops. This is intended to be a living document with updates as the Society continues to develop.
Philip N. Dean
