For #AmericanHearthMonth, we are featuring a gif of two frontispiece illustrations from the second edition of A Practical Treatise on the Diagnosis, Pathology, and Treatment of Diseases of the Heart (Philadelphia, 1870) by the eminent American physician Austin Flint (1812-1886). First published in 1859, this work is considered the first major American textbook on #cardiology.
In celebration of #BlackHistoryMonth, we are featuring a portrait of Dr. Jane Cooke Wright. Dr. Wright (1919-2013) became a professor of surgery, head of the cancer chemotherapy department, and associate dean at New York Medical College, and the highest ranked African American woman at a nationally recognized medical institution. She was the first woman to be elected president of the New York Cancer Society.
Welcome to Color Our Collections Week sponsored by @nyamnyc! During the week of February 6-10, NLM is participating in this annual social media #coloring festival alongside other libraries, archives, and cultural institutions by sharing our free coloring book. The #ColoringBook features images from NLM's historical collections and is now available to download, print, and color! Please share your finished pages on Instagram using the hashtag #ColorOurCollections!
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.
"Opening Doors: Contemporary African American Academic Surgeons" highlights contemporary African American surgeons and educators who have exemplified excellence in their fields and mentor young generation of African American physicians. NLM has refreshed the original exhibition website from 2006. Now Opening Doors has a new look and feel and is accessible across all devices! Learn more about several selected African American surgeons who have worked to improve health care and to inspire the next generation of surgeons.
This #WoodcutIllustration from Jehan Cousin's Livre de Pourtraicture (Paris, 1608) shows the proportion and measure of a male figure from the front and back. One of the most famous on the subject of #ArtisticAnatomy, this book was printed again and again into the late 17th century.
