\"Rachel<\/a>Hi! I\u2019m Rachel Ingold, Curator for the History of Medicine Collections. This summer, the History of Medicine Collections<\/a> will be moving from the Medical Center Library<\/a> on Duke’s medical campus to the RBMSCL<\/a> on West Campus. For the next five weeks, join me every Monday here at The Devil\u2019s Tale<\/a>. I\u2019ll be walking you through the move step-by-step.<\/p>\n

This week, a little background: The History of Medicine Collections consists of over 20,000 rare and unique medical books and journals. Along with these print items are 4,500 manuscripts and numerous medically-related instruments, artifacts, prints, photographs, and ephemera. The collection is particularly strong in the areas of anesthesia, human sexuality, materia medica<\/a>, pediatrics, psychiatry, vivisection, and yellow fever.<\/p>\n

Two major gifts helped form the HOM Collections. In 1931, the Georgia Medical Society of Savannah donated its library of 8,000 volumes to Duke University. Another major donation which brought a new level and depth to the collection was the 1956 donation of the Trent Collection by Mrs. Mary Duke Biddle Trent Semans.<\/p>\n

\"History<\/a>So, how does one go about moving a collection with so many rare print items and manuscripts, as well as a variety of instruments and artifacts including curiosities such as amputating saws, ivory anatomical manikins, and glass eyeballs? The answer: very carefully<\/em>. And with a team of wonderful people.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m grateful to be working with a great group of folks from the Medical Center Library & Archives and Perkins Library. So many people have been involved in making this move happen. And I hope this series of blog posts will highlight some of the work they have done to help and how we are going about this move.<\/p>\n

For photos of the move from start to finish, visit the “HOM Collections Move<\/a>” set on the Duke University Libraries’ Flickr photostream.<\/p>\n

Next week: Technical Services gets to work!<\/p>\n
