It was organized within the framework of "Millennium and Memory � III Europe � America International Congress � Museums, Archives and Libraries for the History of Science" in Buenos Aires on July 19-23, 2010. The first part of the symposium was intended to explore the uses of first generation of Internet for history of science purpose. Subjects were images, courses and on-line education and documents digitalization. The second part explored the Web 2.0 format for electronic journals, social media, users interaction, the notion of communities and social networks, the use of Web 2.0 in the academia and the preservation of healthcare historical, architectural and documental patrimony.
A second symposium entitled "New technologies of information and communication (TICs) and their use in history of health, science and technology".

Representatives of medicine, odontology, veterinary medicine, health care and pharmacy have joined the society since the very outset. The Society aims at furthering the interest in and research on the history of medicine, as well as at collecting objects which throw light upon former developments within these fields.

GREEK SOCIETY FOR THE HISTORY OF MEDICINE
The Greek Society for the History of Medicine (including the societies for the study of Medical Philosophy and Sociology) is indisputably our formal national body and the main vehicle for exchanging views and ideas on the subject in a friendly atmosphere. It includes the overall majority of Greek medico-historians and the highlight of its activity is its Annual Meeting each May in Athens. The event takes place at the Hilton Hotel during the Pan-Hellenic Medical Congress, which incorporates the meetings of all medical societies in Greece, and runs under the aegis of Athens Medical Society. During this five-hour medico-historical event two or three main lectures are delivered, there are several short oral communications and many posters are exhibited, followed by a brief presentation. A lively discussion follows.
OTHERS SOCIETIES
Apart from the Greek Society for the History of Medicine, there is a cluster of smaller groups that are usually formed around a few enthusiastic medico-historians holding university posts and/or pursuing specific interests. The later include the founding of museums of the History of Medicine, the organization of relevant libraries and the promotion of the historical study of particular specialties and areas. A list includes :
1. The Hippocratic Foundation of Cos
The Foundation was extremely active in the field of the History of Medicine and I am sure everyone remembers the very successful meeting of ISHM organized there by Professor S. Marketos. However, after the end of his term as Chairman of the Foundation we notice a decrease of its activities.2. The Club of the Friends of The Medical Museum.
It is situated in Athens, with some of its members living in the provinces. Although its original purpose was, and still is, to promote the establishment of the homonymous museum in Athens, it has recently been active in the publication of Deltos, a medico-historical journal.3. The Chair of the History of Medicine
The Chair of the History of Medicine in Ioannina runs a recently established Museum, holding � in between other exhibits � a large collection of antique and modern icons of medico-religious interest.4. The Society for the History of Sciences
This Society is situated in Athens and the medico-historical branch of its activities is mainly orientated towards the study of medical writers of the Greek Enlightenment during the 18th/19th centuries.5. The Medical School of the University of Crete
Although it lacks a Chair of the History of Medicine, the Medical School of the University of Crete has established, via the efforts of an affiliated medical historian, a small collection of Minoan and post-Minoan artifacts of relevant interest.6. The School of Pharmaceutics of the University of Athens
This School incorporates a Department on the History of its subject. The scholars there run a program supported by the EU aiming to enlist all the Materia Medica in Greece.7. The Greek Society of Medical Writers
It is the national branch of the UNEM (Union Mondiale des Ecrivains Medecins) hosts medical doctors who are also novelists, poets, fiction or theater writers etc. There is a strong element of historical interest in that group, which, due to the people involved, is mainly oriented towards the history of Ophthalmology.8. The Museum of the History of Medicine, in Patras
This museum was established legally a few years ago, and a great section of the fine neoclassical building of the old Saint Andrew�s Hospital was allocated to it. However, due to everlasting bureaucracy the museum is not operating properly yet. For the present, its main belongings, a big collection of old medical books from the 18th to the 20th century are satisfactorily catalogued and displayed in a sector of the New Saint Andrew�s Hospital. In the same hospital, a group of medical historians are actively promoting the study of the History of Nephrology. Many relevant articles have been published a 600-page book on the History of Ancient and Byzantine Greek Nephrology that was issued three years ago.9. The Louros and Geroulanos Foundations
These foundations, located in Athens, aim to promote the study of the History of Medicine by several means, albeit at the present their main activity is the award of biannual prizes to relevant books and essays.10. Historical studies of Nephrology
The historical studies of Nephrology in specific are actively promoted, with Prof. S. Marketos being the current President of the International Society for the History of Nephrology, and Ass. Prof. A. Diamandopoulos is sitting at the Board.For any information about these different societies, you can contact :

The first chilean society of History of Medicine was founded in 1955 by professor Enrique Laval, MD and the dean Alejandro Garreton, MD. The society encompasses some 30 members and edited a journal "Anales Chilenos de Historia de la Medicina", wich was published between 1959 and 1973 and discontinued after the death of both founders. Also a museum and historic library were founded in a building of the National Health Service in Macul avenue in Santiago. In 1988 the Museum was closed and was transferred to the University of Chile school of Medicine and merged with historic artefacts of the Faculty of Medicine and the ancient Hospital San Vicente... Consequently the University of Chile founded a united "Museo Nacional de Medicina" in the new building of Independence avenue. A full description of the new Museum by R.Cruz-Cole, MD, was published in Revista Medica de Chile, Vol 117;1073-1078, 1989.
Today the Chilean medical historians are grouped in the historic commission of the Academia Chilena de Medicina, founded in 1964 with some 40 active members. The papers are published currently in the Revista medica de Chile. Every three years a national conferences is held. The "Jornadas de historia de la medicina" the fifth Jornadas was held in October 2002 and attended by 30 participants with 18 papers dealing with classical and national subjects on History of Medicine. The editors of these Proceedings were Professors Alecsandar Goic, MD. And Ricardo Cruz-Coke,MD.
Only a few medical academicians have been members of the I.S.H.M-. The late Professor Claudio Costa Casaretto,M.D. (1914-1998), studied in Rome in 1954 with Professor Alberto Pazzini and attended a Congress of ISHM.The late Ramon Campbell Batista (1911-1999), attended the Congress in Kos in 1996. The remaining members are academicians Professors Camilo Larrain, Benedicto Chuiaqui, Sergio Puente and Ricardo Cruz-Coke who have attended the last Congresses.
