ABSTRACT

This chapter is devoted to a selection of the Archives. Most of the Archives' illustrations were of clinical skiagraphs but in April 1897, 24 radiographs were included on 'Skiagraphy in zoology' by Norris Wolfenden, who also wrote a special Supplement1 to the 1897/1898 Archives of the Roentgen Ray on 'Radiography in Marine Biology'. There was also a lively correspondence on the proposal for the 'new' name radiography, which correspondent called barbarous when compared with skiagraphy. The Archives of Clinical Skiagraphy is the world's oldest radiological journal with its first part appearing in May 1896. The three issues of the Archives of Clinical Skiagraphy took up only 32 pages with the single issue for the Archives of Skiagraphy being an additional five pages of text plus 24 pages for the skiagrams.
