American Association of Pathologists and Bacteriologists

Established in 1901 to be a National Society devoted to the advancement of the interests of the Medical Sciences as distinct from the clinical side of medicine.

The AAPB took the "Journal of the Boston Society of Medical Sciences", and renamed it the "Journal of Medical Research". The first issue was in July 1901.

In 1924 the Council voted to give up the "Journal of Medical Research" and with a grant from the General Education Board of the Rockefeller Foundation, the AAPB started the American Journal of Pathology as of January 1, 1925, noting on the cover that it was a continuation of the "Journal of Medical Research".
