Each year AIHP publishes a Pharmaco-Historical Calendar featuring images related to the history of pharmacy. AIHP members receive the annual calendar as a benefit of membership, and the calendar usually ships in November or December so that members will have the calendar in time for the start of the new year.
Extra copies of the current year’s calendar may be ordered for $6.00 ($4.00 for members). A small numbers of calendars from previous year may also be available for purchase.
Order calendars using the AIHP Publications Order Form. (Currently inactive).
Please contact us at aihp@aihp.org to inquire about ordering calendars. Due to the current covid restrictions, fulfillment of calendar orders may be delayed.
The publication of the AIHP Pharmaco-Historical calendar is made possible in part by the AIHP Calendar Fund. AIHP thanks Robert A. Cohen and all other donors to the AIHP Calendar fund.
The AIHP Pharmaco-Historical Calendar is also Supported by
AIHP National Pharmacy Association Sponsors:
