  3. Publications and Historical Documents

This page contains documents and publications that date to the Society’s founding in 1961. Within each “Table of Contents,” you will find documents such as rosters of Council members and Component Group leaders and Annual Meeting publications. There also are links to regulatory and policy communications.

Each year, the science presented at the SOT Annual Meeting and ToxExpo is compiled into varied publications. The Toxicologist and The Toxicologist: Late-Breaking Supplement are supplements to Toxicological Sciences, the Society’s official journal, and contain all abstracts presented at the Annual Meeting and ToxExpo. PDFs of these publications are available on this web page, and you can use The Toxicologist online database to search the records from 2003 to the present.
