Vaulted Treasures: Historical Medical Books at the Claude Moore Health Sciences Library, 2007
Scope and Contents
This online exhibit aims to give viewers a view into more than 50 of Historical Collections and Services' most notable books and see how their authors over the years have documented their discoveries and concepts for contemporaries and for us. There are digitized versions of many of the books in the Fulltext Books section, which offers links to the scanned images of over half of these rare books.
Sara Huyser, Anne McKeithen, and Janet Pearson, members of the staff of Historical Collections at The Claude Moore Health Sciences Library, wrote and compiled the material for Vaulted Treasures under the direction of Joan Echtenkamp Klein.
Joaquin Bueno designed the Web exhibit and graphics, with the server expertise of David Moody and the assistance of Bart Ragon. Special thanks to Claudia Sueyras who scanned many of the books and Andrew Sallans who provided technical assistance.
