Please Help the History of Maryland Medicine Match $50,000!
The History of Maryland Medicine recently received a grant of $50,000 to help support the position of Director the History of Medicine and Curator of MedChi’s Art and Rare Books Collection. The donor has asked that we match his gift dollar for dollar. We need your help to accomplish this match.
Over the past year, the Office of the History of Maryland Medicine has accomplished the following:
Over the past year, the Office of the History of Maryland Medicine has accomplished the following:
- Moved the rare book collection from the stacks, which were not climate controlled. The books are now in the “rare book” room, and have catalogued, so that we have a current accounting of what’s in our collection.
- Set up social media accounts, including YouTube and Instagram to highlight MedChi’s history, and the vast number of items in our collections. The YouTube account includes the longer five-minute videos, which were professionally produced, as well as short videos.
- Sourced donations to the Museum, including a donation of an 1845 painting of Founder, Tristram Thomas, on permanent loan from the University of Maryland’s School of Medicine Alumni Office. This painting measures 8’ x 5.5’.
- Secured items for the collections, including a set of fifty 1813 French medical dictionaries, a 1925 second impression of Cushing’s Osler book and four Osler books, including a limited 1926 edition of the “Osler Number.”
- Reached out to the community through events including open houses, ghost tours, lectures at local colleges, women’s history month symposia, and more.
- Catalogued the thousands of photographs and scans taken over the past 12 years, so that anyone who accesses them in the future will know when, where and who.
- Met with colleagues in medical history, archives, and adjacent fields, including tours with curators of local museums, historic houses, and archives.
- Spoke at the annual American Osler Society’s conferences. The Director is now a Fellow of the American Osler Society.
- Wrote a biography of Marcia Crocker Noyes, an acolyte of Sir William Osler, who shaped the organization that MedChi is today.
Please help us continue to accomplish this important work and more like it!
