The philosopher reminds us:

"Those who forget their past are doomed to repeat it."

The Association for the History of Chiropractic (AHC) is a non-profit membership organization committed to preserving and disseminating information on the history of the chiropractic profession. The society was founded at Spears Hospital in Denver, 1980, and held its first annual Conference on Chiropractic History at the Smithsonian Institute in 1981. Each year since the AHC has co-sponsored its annual Conference in conjunction with one of the chiropractic colleges.
