História biográfica
The Editorial Board was established in 1992 to plan and oversee publication of 'The Diplomate', reporting directly to the Publications Management Committee. The objective was 'to provide an essential update of techniques and important clinical developments in obstetrics and gynaecology - thereby presenting continuing medical education in an outstanding, understandable and readable form.' (The Diplomate No. 1 Vol. 1 1992, Archives ref P3/1/1). The publication was primarily aimed at Diplomates of the RCOG (those who had completed the College's Diploma in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, the DRCOG), but it was available for sale to any interested parties. The first 'Diplomate' was published in March 1994. It lost money throughout its existence; consequently the final volume was published in January 1999. Production of 'The Diplomate' was the responsibility of the Publications Officer; its Editor-in-Chief was John Studd FRCOG.

Transferred to the Archives by the Publications Department.
Records of 'The Diplomate' Editorial Board, 1992-1998, comprising the minute book of the Board (1992-1998); minutes and papers (1992-1998); contributors' agreements and correspondence (1993-1998); papers of a study and questionnaire regarding 'The Diplomate' from 1998. The minute book and some of the loose agenda papers cover four planning meetings (1992-1994) prior to the first issue of 'The Diplomate' in March 1994. The last minutes dated April 1998 show no recognition of the fact that 'The Diplomate' was to be imminently disbanded.
Published material and some administrative records produced by the office were transferred to the Archives on an ad hoc basis by the Publications Officer until 1998. From this date, regular transfers of records were established in accordance with Disposal Agreement No 14, agreed between the Publications Officer and the Archivist.
This material is no longer created as a separate series; copy minutes are now submitted to and retained with Council minutes and papers at A2.
As set out above in Scope and Content.
Open, although restrictions apply for items containing personal information.

DRCOG: The College Archives holds a card index to DRCOG passes from the 1940s to late 1998. The Head of the Examination Department also has an index to DRCOG passes and failures dating back to the 1940s. A database of DRCOG holders from 1990 is maintained by the Administration Department.
MRCOG: A database of MRCOG holders is maintained by the Membership Services Department. The database does not include Fellows or Members who died before 1990. The College Archives holds card indexes of deceased and living MRCOG holders between 1929 and 1998. The indexes note the date of admission to the FRCOG or MRCOG. A bi-annual Register of Fellows and Members (living only) is compiled by the Administration Department; copies are transferred regularly to the Archives and will be found at A12/1-3.
ODTS (overseas doctors' training scheme):
A database of overseas doctors who have applied to sit the MRCOG is maintained by the ODTS Administrator. Once the doctors pass the MRCOG their names are removed from this database and added to the MRCOG database maintained by the Membership Services Department, with an annotation to indicate that they are overseas doctors.
Microfilm copy minutes of the Accreditation Committee, 1981-1984, are at MR/1.
