Welcome to our Web site.
The Wood Library-Museum of Anesthesiology (WLM) ranks among the
world’s premier collections devoted to anesthesia history. Housed
in the headquarters building of the American Society of Anesthesiologists,
the WLM also serves as an active, specialized medical library.
Please take a moment to browse through our site. We have added video
and audio clips of our Living History collection, images of recent
Museum acquisitions and details of our many programs. Watch for
additional online exhibits and enjoy the ease of ordering WLM publications
and products online.
Thank you for visiting our Web site and we hope that you return
often.

Pardon Our Dust.......
The Wood Library-Museum of Anesthesiology (WLM)
will close its museum gallery for remodeling beginning August 1,
2010. The library and all other WLM services will remain open throughout
this remodeling project. The museum gallery is expected to reopen
in early 2011. The WLM is also embarking on a major digitization
project of its museum and other collections. The development of
a virtual museum is in progress with these digitization efforts.
Please refer to our Web site for updates on these museum projects.
The WLM also wishes to announce the retirement
of Mr. Patrick Sim, our Distinguished Paul M. Wood Librarian. Mr.
Sim served as head of the WLM staff for 39 years and has been a
dedicated and tireless advocate for the specialty of anesthesiology.
He will be missed by all WLM staff and friends and by the many anesthesiologists
and scholars whom he has assisted around the world.
Make
the WLM part of your ASA 2010 Annual Meeting Activities!
