An International Committee of Histochemistry and Cytochemistry was established on a provisional basis in 1960 and put on a formal footing in 1964. In 1976 it changed its name to become the International Federation of Societies for Histochemistry and Cytochemistry. The Federation aims to promote communication and co-operation among scientists who are interested in these fields of study.
