Drew Invites You to Visit the Medical History Center

The Medical History Center is a treasure trove of historical photographs, rare books, personal papers, and other resources about the history of Stanford Medicine, and also about the history of medicine in general.

You can receive one-on-one instruction in doing historical research, as well as guidance on copyright and other considerations when using historical materials in your publications and projects.

Researchers have come to the Medical History Center from all over the world, including Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Latvia, Canada, and Australia.

Historical Curator – Drew Bourn PhD, MLIS – invites you to visit the Medical History Center to learn more about its rare books and other resources: “Explore how medical research and clinical care – both yesterday and today – fit into larger stories about Stanford, California, and the world.”
