The American Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians (AAVLD) was organized at the 1957 annual meeting of the American Veterinary Medical Association. Its purposes are to disseminate information relating to the diagnosis of animal diseases; to coordinate diagnostic activities of regulatory, research, and service laboratories; to establish uniform diagnostic techniques; to improve existing diagnostic techniques; to develop new diagnostic techniques; to establish accepted guidelines for the improvement of diagnostic laboratory organizations relative to personnel qualifications and facilities; and to be the consultant to the United States Animal Health Association on uniform diagnostic criteria involved in regulatory animal disease programs. The group is based in Davis, California. |
This collection (1957-[ongoing]) includes annual reports, committee reports, constitution and bylaws, correspondence, financial records, mailing lists, materials from symposia and conferences, meeting minutes, membership directories, newsletters, and publications.
