Newly Digitized Historical SOM Press Releases

When Stanford’s School of Medicine moved from San Francisco to Palo Alto in 1959, its news bureau began to issue press releases about developments at the school. Lane Library has now digitized nearly 6,000 pages of press releases from 1959 through 1986, allowing for full-text searching of names, dates, and key terms. Explore the digitized press releases (because of the amount of material, it takes a moment to load on your screen).

For more information about this digitization project, please contact Dr. Drew Bourn, Historical Curator in the Medical History Center in Lane Library.
