For this month's #ArchivesHashtagParty theme of #ArchivesBlackDesign, we are featuring the "Father of the Blood Bank," Dr. Charles R. Drew. In 1941, he introduced the use of mobile collection units (later called "bloodmobiles") to aid in the war effort. These vehicles were equipped for collecting and storing blood from donors. We often take the blood donation for granted today, but inventions like these continue to save countless lives.

#OTD in 1849, Elizabeth Blackwell graduated from New York's Geneva Medical College at the top of her class and became the first woman in America to earn the M.D. degree. She supported medical education for women and helped many other women's careers. By establishing the New York Infirmary in 1857, she offered a practical solution to one of the problems facing qualified women who were rejected from internships and training opportunities elsewhere because of their gender.
