- catalog 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.

- catalog description "The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (the "Society") was founded in 1903 by a group of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania physicians as the American Society of Tropical Medicine. The creation of the society stemmed in part from the expansion of American political holdings in tropical and sub-tropical areas around the world, including the Philippines and South America, as well as from contemporary developments in microscopy and virology. The Society began to publish on its tenth anniversary with the American Journal of Tropical Diseases and Preventive Medicine. The question of a merger between the American Society of Tropical Medicine, the National Malaria Committee (later renamed the National Malaria Society), the American Foundation for Tropical Medicine, and the American Academy of Tropical Medicine was first brought up in 1950 and submitted to the memberships of all four organizations. The journals of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and the National Malaria Society were also merged, resulting in the American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. Post-merger, special interest groups began to emerge among the Society membership. One of the first was the American Committee on Arthropod-borne Viruses, established in 1959 in response to a World Health Organization (WHO) call in 1958 for more research on arthropod-borne viruses. The Society currently describes itself as “…a worldwide organization of scientists, clinicians, and program professionals. The organization’s mission is to promote global health through the prevention and control of infectious and other diseases that disproportionately afflict the global poor.” For additional information, please visit the Society's corporate website, http://www.astmh.org".
