We are pleased to invite you to be part of an exciting project undertaken by the COMP Executive.  While the idea of establishing an archives of Canadian medical physics is not new, we are now in a position to put this important idea into action and we need your help!

Our goal is to collect, assess, preserve and make available materials that document the history of medical physics in Canada.  As a member of the medical physics community, you may have some materials to contribute.  Examples include:

§         Information pertaining to awards

§         Photos (including names and dates) of individuals or groups

§         Biographical sketches of leaders in the medical physics community who have made significant contributions in medical physics

§         Informal accounts of meetings, pointing out highlights

§         Historical summaries of medical physics in Canada. 

§         Meeting Minutes

§         Past newsletters and other formal communications

§         Conference proceedings

§         Links to Websites and other sources

The Archives project will ensure that records of today are preserved for future generations.  The records can be used to study and understand the life, ideas and thoughts of their original creators linking the past, present and future of Canadian medical physics.

Please refer to the current list of items in the archive and if you have additional materials to contribute, they can be emailed to nancy@medphys.ca or forwarded to the COMP office:
