Since its founding in 1941, the American Institute of the History of Pharmacy, a 501 (c) 3 not-for-profit educational organization, has received strong support from the health care industry and from pharmacy educators. AIHP offers special sponsorship opportunities for national associations and for schools/college of pharmacy to support AIHP’s pharmaco-historical mission and programming.


AIHP National Association Sponsorship Program

Founded in 2015, the purpose of the American Institute of the History of Pharmacy’s National Association Sponsorship Program is to build mutually supportive relationships between AIHP and the major pharmacy organizations in the United States, consistent with the Institute’s role of serving the profession as a whole.

The National Association Sponsorship Program allows national pharmacy organizations to work together with AIHP to support the Institute’s mission of contributing to the understanding of the development of civilization by fostering the creation, preservation, and dissemination of knowledge concerning the history and related humanistic aspects of the pharmaceutical field.

AIHP Gregory J. Higby Fund

The AIHP Gregory J. Higby Fund was established in 2018 upon the retirement of long-time AIHP Executive Director Greg Higby. The fund recognizes Greg’s many years of services to the Institute and helps to support, maintain, manage, and expand AIHP’s historical collections.

One of the Institute’s most significant activities is the continued collection and preservation of historically important documents, images, and other materials related to the history of pharmacy. AIHP’s historical collections make the Institute a unique center for historical research in the United States about pharmacy and pharmaceuticals. The maintenance and expansion of AIHP’s historical collections will allow the Institute to continue to attract researchers and scholars interested in learning about and studying the history of pharmacy.
