History
- 1964: The Bulletin of Prosthetics Research (BPR), the first in-house Veterans Administration medical journal, published its premier issue and continued for the next 18 years, through 1982.
- 1983: BPR was expanded into JRRD, which has been published continuously since 1983. From the first issue, JRRD's scope of coverage was more inclusive than BPR's, including assistive technology (wheelchairs, hearing and reading devices, computers as speech aids), spinal cord injury, prosthetics and orthotics, postsurgical amputation management, and gait restoration.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“History takes time.... History makes memory.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“[Men say:] “Don’t you know that we are your natural protectors?” But what is a woman afraid of on a lonely road after dark? The bears and wolves are all gone; there is nothing to be afraid of now but our natural protectors.”
—Frances A. Griffin, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 19, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
“The custard is setting; meanwhile
I not only have my own history to worry about
But am forced to fret over insufficient details related to large
Unfinished concepts that can never bring themselves to the point
Of being, with or without my help, if any were forthcoming.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
