-To foster public awareness of the far reaching consequences of the discovery of X-rays and other imaging methods and their application for medicine and mankind.

Our journal Invisible Light  is published  twice a year and is  free to members. Back issues become available on this website about a year after publication

The Society, previously known as the Radiology History and Heritage Charitable Trust, grew from the Radiology History Committee which had been established in 1987 as an independent body with wide affiliations. It consisted of individuals interested in the history of radiology, representatives of institutions and nominees from various professional organizations and was chaired by Professor Ian Isherwood of the University of Manchester.

The Society has elected officers and is managed by a Council drawn from the membership with representatives of affiliated organisations. The Council meets several times a year and there is an Annual General Meeting, usually in February.
A highlight of our year is the annual open lecture, given by a distinguished invited speaker, on the day of our AGM.

Anyone with an interest in the history of radiology may become a member, take part in our activities and receive a copy of our journal, The Invisible Light. Subscriptions are currently £12 a year for the UK  and £18 for overseas.
