摘要

The formation of a specialist society formally began in 1964 after various iterations in the 1950's and 1960's under the names of the Hydrocarbon Research Group MS Panel and the Mass Spectroscopy Group;the latter was established to reflect the need of the growing mass spectrometry community for a society to cover all aspects of mass spectrometry.The first formal conference of the BMSS took place in 1965 at University College,London and BMSS meetings have been held regularly every two years out of three since,in concert with the International Mass Spectrometry Conference(IMSC)which runs on the third year.BMSS has hosted the IMSC three times,in 1973(Edinburgh),1985(Swansea)and 2003(Edinburgh).A formal constitution for the BMSS was adopted in 1968.In the 1970s the Mass Spectrometry Discussion Group was established to further instrumental developments and fully incorporated with the Mass Spectroscopy Group as the’British Mass Spectrometry Society'.In 1980 BMSS was registered with the UK Charity Commission,which required it to have a more educational emphasis.
