Donating Collections

From the Harvard Medical Library in the Francis A. Countway Library of Medicine

The Center for the History of Medicine acquires, preserves, and makes available the historical materials that provide vital context and perspective to contemporary biomedical research, clinical medicine and dentistry, and public health. Study of the history of medicine enables a broader understanding of the larger society within which medicine is embedded.

The Center has primary responsibility to document the goals, activities, and accomplishments of the Harvard Medical School, Harvard School of Dental Medicine, and Harvard School of Public Health, and their faculties. It also seeks to document developments of regional and national importance in biomedicine, medical sciences, and public health.
