Each year the Anesthesia History Association awards David M. Little Prizes for the best original works on anesthesia history published the previous year in English in each of three categories: book, journal article and audio-visual medium. The prize is named after Dr. David M. Little, Jr. (1920-1981), longtime Chair of Anesthesia at Hartford Hospital in Connecticut. For many years, Dr. Little wrote the “Classical File” series of history columns for the Survey of Anesthesiology. Awards are announced each October at the Annual Dinner Meeting of the Anesthesia History Association during the ASA annual meeting.
The 2013 awards are for works published in 2012. The deadline for this year’s award is September 2, 2013 and should be sent electronically to: George S. Bause, M.D. at UJYC@aol.com.
