History
The Academy of the History of Pharmacy was founded in 1945 to serve as a Canadian centre for research and information on historical and social aspects of pharmacy by aiding investigators, publication, study, and interest in history of pharmacy, and by collecting historical records of pharmacy to make them available publicly and permanently.
The Academy also assists the professional development of all branches of pharmacy by clarifying its role within the evolution of the professions and sciences. At the annual general meeting each year, papers are presented on the history of pharmacy, which are circulated to the members. On occasion, the CPJ will publish some of the historical articles.
