 ominations
are invited for the person to be named the fourth
Wood Library-Museum of Anesthesiology (WLM) Laureate
of the History of Anesthesia in the year 2008. Deadline

This program, established in 1994, has as its purpose
increased recognition of the richness and importance
of the history of our specialty by recognizing the
work of scholars who have made singular contributions
to the field. The honor is awarded every four years
by the WLM Laureate Committee to an individual who
has a demonstrable record of contributing over the
years outstanding, original materials related to
the history of our specialty as reflected by articles
published in peer-reviewed journals and/or in monographs.
The first Laureate, Gwenifer Wilson, M.D., of Sydney,
Australia, was honored in 1996. The second co-laureates
were Norman A. Bergman, M.D, F.R.C.A., and Thomas
B. Boulton, M.D., Ch.B., F.R.C.A., in 2000. The
third Laureate was Donald Caton, M.D., in 2004.
The laureate program is international. Nominations

as well as medical historians from the international
history community.
