Internet resources for Medicine

Contagion: Historical Views of Diseases and Epidemics is a digital library collection created under the Harward University Library Open Collections Program. It brings together a unique set of resources from Harvard University libraries -- over 500,000 pages of digitized copies of books, serials, pamphlets, incunabula, and manuscripts -- to offer valuable insights into the historical context for current epidemiology and contribute to the understanding of the global, social-hisotry, and public-policy implications of disease.

The Digital Collections is the National Library of
Medicine's free online archive of biomedical books and
videos. All of the content in Digital Collections is freely
available worldwide and, unless otherwise indicated, in the
public domain. Digital Collections provides unique access to
NLM's rich, historical resources.

U.S. National Library of Medicine has understaken a great
number of digital projects to create free online archives of
biomedical resources that are in the public domain, and make
them freely available worldwide. This web page has a list
of the NIH digital projects and allows users to browse and
identify relevant digital resources by subject.

Images from the History of Medicine (IHM) is a database of
over 70,000 images in the U.S. National Library of
Medicine's historical collections. The collections include
portraits, photographs, fine prints, caricatures, genre
scenes, posters, and other graphic art, which illustrate
the social and historical aspects of medicine from the
Middle Ages to the present. Subjects range from medieval
medical practice and 19th-century slum conditions to World
War I hospitals and the international fight against drug
abuse and AIDS. That said, the majority of the images date
back to earlier time periods from before World War II. The
geographical coverage of the database is international,
but the majority of the images is sourced from Europe and
the United States.

The website is the virtual home for the digitized collection
of historical Chinese medical texts of the Princeton East
Asian Library. Sixty-five full-text e-books are freely
available in the PDF format.
