ASAM News Archives and History
ASAM News began as The Physician's Alcohol Newsletter in 1965 when ASAM was known as the New York City Medical Society on Alcoholism. At that time, distribution to ASAM members depended on the use of an addressograph machine. Each member was assigned an engraved metal block that ran through the machine and stamped the newsletter with their name and address for the postal service.
Publication of The Physician’s Alcohol Newsletter stopped in 1978, and ASAM ceased to have a newsletter until 1985 when the Society was known as the American Medical Society on Alcoholism & Other Drug Dependencies (ASMAODD). AMSAODD News published into 1989 when it evolved into ASAM News, which continues to be a service to members and subscribers.
