The National Library of Medicine announced its new blog Circulating Now http://circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov/ . The blog will showcase items from the history of the library and the history of medicine.
Their collections are vast and broad, and include books, manuscripts, prints, and objects. Herbals and botany, early works on medicine and diseases, and of course, cures. The blog posts will tie history and medicine together. Here's a link into the History of Medicine hosted by the National Library of Medicine http://www.nlm.nih.gov/hmd/
Check it out and see for yourself.
NLM runs some fascinating medical history exhibits - both online and in Bethesda. Their staff is awesome too. They have helped make me look good several times over the years!!
