Digital Collections

The McGovern Historical Center is working to digitize and provide online access to many of its collections. Our digital collections document the history of medicine through rare pamphlets and books. In addition, the MHC is dedicated to preserving born-digital materials retrieved from legacy storage, such as floppies, zip disks, and other obsolete formats. Materials are available on our collection site as well as DigitalCommons@TMC and Internet Archive.
