The National Library of Medicine’s History of Medicine Division recently worked with Adam Matthew Digital, a digital publisher of unique primary source collections from archives around the world, to digitize more than 12,000 pages of manuscripts from 15 collections held by the NLM, the world’s largest biomedical library.

The NLM collections join a host of others from the British Library, the Library and Archives of Canada, and the UK National Archives, among other libraries and archives, in Medical Services and Warfare, a new online resource from Adam Matthew which explores multiple perspectives on the history of injury, treatment and disease on the front lines of modern warfare.

Patrons can freely view Medical Services and Warfare at the NLM. They may also study the original NLM collections in the NLM’s History of Medicine reading room.

NLM Digital Collections will eventually provide free global access to all the material now digitized for the Medical Services and Warfare project.
