Rare Book Collection

The Wood Library-Museum Rare Book Collection is housed in the K. Garth Huston, Sr., M.D. Rare Book Room. As an invaluable collection and one of the largest of pre-20th century publications, it also includes manuscripts, letters, artifacts, portraits, pictures and works which marked the advent of special contributions to anesthesia. This closed collection may be used through prior arrangement with the Librarian. A continuing project is the compilation of an annotated catalog of the Rare Book Collection.
