The American Roentgen Ray Society was established in 1900 to advance knowledge of practical work with the recently discovered X-ray. It is the first and the oldest society devoted to radiology in the country.

A stenographer present during the scientific sessions of the Society's annual meeting in 1917 produced this accurate transcription of the proceedings and discussions which followed the presentations. Many of the papers and comments concern X-ray work in the field hospitals of World War I.

The acquisition of the historical records of the American Roentgen Ray Society, complement the archives of the New England Roentgen Ray Society, and the books, journals, instrument catalogs, photographs and radiographs, and manuscripts of the Historical Collection in Radiology, further enhancing the Countway's position as one of the leading repositories for the study of this subject.
