The first steps leading to formation of History of Anaesthesia Society are described. The first International Symposium on the History of Anaesthesia (ISHA) in Rotterdam 1982 was a catalyzing event. During next 20 years series of successful meetings throughout the world took place in London, Atlanta, Hamburg and Santiago de Compostela. Two bigger societies for study of anaesthetic history – The Anesthesia History Association (AHA) in U. S. and international The History of Anaesthesia Society (HAS) in UK traced their history to 1st ISHA meeting. Several examples of national societies of anaesthesia historians are mentioned and the need for international co-ordination is underlined.
