Overview

Established in 1788, the Library of the College of Physicians served as Philadelphia's central medical library for over 150 years, serving medical schools, hospitals, physicians and other health professionals. Today, it is an independent research library devoted to the history of medicine and serves hundreds of scholars, health professionals, students and popular writers each year. This collection, Library exhibtion labels, dates from the 1960s through 1997, although the bulk of the material is from 1973 through 1975. It contains labels, and a few typescript booklets, for exhibits curated by Library staff. All folder titles came from the envelopes in which the labels were originally stored.
