Summary

The Royal Australasian College of Radiologists came into being in 1972 when the College of Radiologists of Australasia received its Royal warrant. In 1998 the name was changed to the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists. The College is a not-for-profit professional organisation for clinical radiologists and radiation oncologists in Australia, New Zealand and Singapore. It comprises local branches in Australia and New Zealand, and the Faculties of Clinical Radiology and Radiation Oncology. Aims include the promotion of the science and practice of radiology; maintaining professional standards; and conducting training and accreditation programs. The Trainor Owen Collection is the College archive, museum and library recording the history of the profession in Australia and New Zealand. It contains materials about the history of the College and its predecessors, and of clinical radiology and radiation oncology in Australia and New Zealand.
