Purpose:Tucked away in hallways and corners of the Radiology Editorial Offices in Boston sit all of the bound volumes of Radiology since its first publication in 1923. These sit gathering dust, with little regular use. Once in a great while, we would go to the shelves to retrieve an article relating to a more current manuscript on which we were working. With the introduction of the Radiology Legacy Collection, all Radiology articles dating back to the first issue in 1923 became searchable and readily available online. Radiological Society of North America members have access to this archive and can see the articles as originally published (in Portable Document Format [or PDF]). In spite of the ease of search and access, we rarely had occasion to draw on this collection in our daily work. Happily, the RSNA Centennial celebration provided a great opportunity for the Editors and other participants in the “Golden Oldies” effort to search through the collection and reconnect with the history of the development of clinical imaging and imaging science though the pages of the journal. This task may be likened to rummaging through one’s attic as a child to learn about great grandparents, long gone, whose sepia-toned photographs allow one to see these forbearers as people, rather than as just names. In even a casual encounter with this collection, one is stuck by the magnitude of change in the way imaging is performed and the way images are analyzed, as well as by the vision, intellect, and imagination of the earlier investigators. One wonders what these early investigators might have accomplished if they had the imaging tools available to them that we now use on a daily basis. Early on in the development of the “Golden Oldies” lists, we realized that with the approach we were taking, many interesting and visually striking images would not be included, and moreover, the radiograph and its importance might not be fully captured. However, radiography forms the basis of the majority of our radiology history.
