History
The Histochemical Society was founded in 1950 and at its 1951 meeting a committee tasked with creating a journal for histochemistry was appointed. The founding editor was Ralph D. Lillie and the first issue of the Journal of Histochemistry and Cytochemistry was published in January 1953.
In 1997, the journal began publishing online through HighWire Press and beginning in 2004 began to digitize all of its back content. All content back to and including 1953 is now available online.
