National Museum of Health & Medicine Guide to the Collections available
Actually, it's been available for free online at http://www.archive.org/details/GuideToCollections2009 for a couple of years.
However, if your library would like a print volume, I've created a version at http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/nmhm-guide-to-the-collections-2009/18831419
I'm afraid I'm still old-fashioned enough to believe in books, and since I've left the Museum, sadly I don't expect another version of this to appear. It's sold for the cost of printing by Lulu.com and I don't make any profit from it. And if you don't like mine, you can make one of your own! It's public domain.
Here's the description:
An overview of the holdings of the five main departments of the National Museum of Health and Medicine, located around Washington, DC. Includes a basic listing of the major collections in the archives, anatomical, historical, neuroanatomical and embryological departments. A record will look like this sample: OHA 25 Curatorial Records: Smithsonian Correspondence, 1867-1887 .5 cubic foot, 1 box. Finding aid available, arranged, inactive, unrestricted. Incoming correspondence, mostly from Smithsonian Secretaries Joseph Henry and Spencer Baird, relating primarily to the exchange of specimens between the Museum and the Smithsonian. George A. Otis, D.L. Huntington, and John S. Billings were curators of the Museum during this time. See Museum Records: Accession Records and Curatorial Records: Letterbooks of the Curators for related correspondence. Sold for the cost of printing
