Archive for Racial and Social Biology
The archive for racial and social biology including racial and social hygiene was a racial or eugenic specialist journal .
At times it was the publication organ of the German Society for Racial Hygiene as well as the organ of the Reich Committee for Public Health Service and had to be obtained from all health departments by order of the Reich and Prussian Interior Ministry.
The magazine appeared from 1904 to 1944. The publisher of the publication, which appears six times a year, was until 1939 the doctor and professor Alfred Ploetz , who coined the term “racial hygiene”.
The magazine was published from 1904 by the Verlag der Archiv-Gesellschaft in Berlin, from 1907 by the same in Munich, from 1909 by Teubner in Leipzig and Berlin and from 1922 to 1939 by Lehmann in Munich.
