The IMIA History Working Group has as its first goal the editing of a volume of contributions from pioneers and leaders in the field of biomedical and health informatics (BMHI) to commemorate the 50th anniversary of IMIA's predecessor IFIP-TC4. This paper describes how the IMIA History WG evolved from an earlier Taskforce, and has focused on producing the edited book of original contributions. We describe its proposed outline of objectives for the personal stories, and national and regional society narratives, together with some comments on the evolution of Medinfo meeting contributions over the years, to provide a reference source for the early motivations of the scientific, clinical, educational, and professional changes that have influenced the historical course of our field.
国际医学信息学协会（IMIA）历史工作组的首要目标是编辑一本由生物医学与健康信息学（BMHI）领域的先驱和领导者撰写的文集，以纪念IMIA的前身——国际信息处理联合会第四技术委员会（IFIP-TC4）成立50周年。本文介绍了IMIA历史工作组如何从早期的一个特别工作组演变而来，以及其如何专注于编写这本原创贡献的编辑书籍。我们描述了其为个人故事、国家和地区协会叙述所提议的目标大纲，以及对多年来医学信息学会议贡献演变的一些评论，以为影响我们领域历史进程的科学、临床、教育和专业变革的早期动机提供参考来源。
