From the beginning, APhA recognized and embraced the mission of keeping its members and all pharmacists informed and engaged in the progress of the profession. For the entire period encompassed by the Proceedings, print runs were for 1,000 copies or more, a far greater number than the membership list, which allowed for distribution to a broad audience both domestically and internationally. However, it was the meetings in 1856 and 1857 establishing the Report on the Progress of Pharmacy and the publication of NF in 1888 that truly moved the Association to the role of a major provider of information to the pharmacists of America.
从一开始，APhA 就认识到并接受了让其成员和所有药剂师了解并参与专业发展的使命。在整个会议记录所涵盖的时期内，印刷量都在 1000 份或更多，这一数字远远超过了会员名单，从而可以在国内外向更广泛的受众分发。然而，正是 1856 年和 1857 年的会议确立了《关于药学进展的报告》和 1888 年 NF 的出版，真正使该协会成为向美国药剂师提供主要信息的主要提供者。
