Circulating Now welcomes guest blogger David Cantor to discuss a newly digitized collection of materials related to medicine and film compiled by Adolf Nichtenhauser (1903–1953).

Medicine on Screen is a curated portal featuring films from the National Library of Medicine’s world-renowned historical audiovisuals collection. Many of these titles are rare, and in some cases NLM may have the only surviving copy. Original scholarly essays accompany the films, exploring the social, cultural, and medical milieu of each title, as well as cinematic techniques, the agendas of directors or producers, and other contextual details.
