Summary

This accession consists of Science Service records maintained by the Division of Medicine and Science, National Museum of American History. Science Service, a not-for-profit institution founded to increase and improve the public dissemination of scientific and technical information, began its work in 1921. Although initially intended as a news service, Science Service produced an extensive array of news features, radio programs, motion pictures, phonograph records, and demonstration kits and it also engaged in various educational, translation, and research activities. Since these materials were held within the Division of Medicine and Science, the records relate to vitamins, nutrition, and health. Materials include memoranda, notes, articles, papers, announcements and news releases, notes, black-and-white photographs, clippings, and ephemera.
