Nova Scotia Medical Bulletin (Journal) Index

>> Index to volumes 1-72 (1922-1993)

The creation of this index was the suggestion of Dr. Allan Marble, Chairman of the Medical History Society of Nova Scotia, and was made financially possible with a Hannah Development grant and from funding from the Kellogg Library. The result is a very detailed index to the complete content of all years of the Nova Scotia Medical Bulletin, v.1(1922)-v.66(1987) and the Nova Scotia Medical Journal, v.67(1988)-v.72(1993). To use the index you can either browse or use the "Edit - Find" (Ctrl+F) function on your web browser to search for names, titles and subjects.

In the last issue of the Nova Scotia Medical Journal, v. 72, number 6 (1993), pages 199-200, J. S. Grogono, a former editor of the Nova Scotia Medical Bulletin submitted a guest editorial. Here is a quote from that editorial:

The Nova Scotia Medical Bulletin was born in January 1922. It was a simple document that had a purpose: namely, to bring together the doctors of the Province into closer cooperation and to inform them of current medical affairs...

The Maritime Medical News had become extinct and there was an urgent need to bring the widely scattered physicians and surgeons of the Province together in a more effective manner, and to provide a means of better communication.
