The NASS Archives Task Force collects and archives documents and artifacts to chronicle NASS' history and to create a museum dedicated to the history of spine care. Collection and organization of items from the membership, industry and NASS' own records are ongoing.
Other benefits of the archives project include an educational exhibit at the annual meeting and a listing of the "Signature Edition Collection," a special collection of books related to spine care and education with messages and signatures by the authors.
The history of spine care is filled with fascinating events and people. In his capacity as former Deputy Editor of The Spine Journal, David Fardon, MD, chronicled some of these key “Spine Posts” which appear frequently in The Spine Journal. NASS is pleased to present a compilation of Dr. Fardon’s Spine Posts.
If you have an item you wish to donate to the NASS archives project or would like to suggest an addition to the directory, please e-mail the Research Department or call (815) 675-0021.
