Vox Sanguinis was established in 1951 as a Dutch newsletter. It soon changed into an international journal. The main field of interest in the beginning was immunohaematology, but gradually transfusion medicine and related areas became more important. The article describes this evolution and gives background to various changes. The role of long‐serving editors‐in‐chief is particularly emphasised.
