Historical note
|
|
In June
1967, a group of approximately 300 scientists interested in
reproductive biology met in Urbana, Illinois, and voted to
establish the Society for the Study of Reproduction (SSR). The
SSR’s purpose is to promote the study of the biological and
medical aspects of fertility and reproduction by fostering
interdisciplinary communication. It holds annual conferences
and publishes the journal Biology of Reproduction three
times a year. The organization is governed by elected officers
including an overseeing committee. Membership is open to
professionally qualified workers with an interest in this field,
at the discretion of the Overseeing Committee. |

Collection
description |

The
collection (1962-[ongoing]) contains records associated with the
function and activities of the Society for the Study of
Reproduction. Included within the collection are annual meeting
information, committee records, correspondence, financial
records, presidential files, and publications. The collection
also includes historical information on the Society, photographs
of members and events, and material related to Society-sponsored
symposia and programs.
The Society also produced a number of videotape recordings of
speakers and workshops at annual meetings. Appendix I contains
a listing of these videotapes along with their ISU Library call
