Celebrating ACG’s History
In 2022, to mark the College’s 90th Anniversary, an exhibit celebrating “How it Started. How It’s Going. ACG at 90” was envisioned for display at the Annual Scientific Meeting in Charlotte, NC. View a PDF of the ACG at 90 project.
In 2023, the College marked the 30th anniversary of the ACG Women in GI Committee’s 1993-1994 transition from ad hoc to full committee status with a display, “Celebrating Women in Gastroenterology.” An archival project commemorating the founding of the committee and its many significant contributions to the life of the College and highlighting the role of women in gastroenterology and in ACG was presented at the Annual Scientific Meeting in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

75th Anniversary Book
ACG marked its 75th Anniversary in 2007 and to celebrate our anniversary, we published a book that highlights our history. There is a long list of individuals, members past and present, who contributed to the publication, compiling ACG’s history and various milestones throughout our 75 years. ACG thanks all those individuals who contributed their time to see this book come to fruition. In addition, the Archives Committee put so much of their time into developing this book as well and ACG wishes to recognize the 2006 – 2007 ACG Archive Committee members:
