The Medical Heritage Library (MHL) is a content centered
digital community supporting research, education, and dialog that enables the
history of medicine to contribute to a deeper understanding of human health and
society. It serves as the point of
access to a valuable body of quality curated digital materials and to the
broader digital and nondigital holdings of its members. It was established in
2010 with funding from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation via the Open Knowledge
Common to digitize 30,000 medical rare books. MHL principal contributors are
Johns Hopkins University, New York Academy of Medicine, the New York Public
Library, and the Wellcome Library. The MHL has since grown to include content
contributors Duke University, University of Massachusetts Medical School's
Lamar Soutter Library, and the Gerstein Science Information Centre, University
of Toronto.
As always, for more from the Medical Heritage Library
