1 review of Pennsylvania Hospital Archives

The first medical library

This is the first medical library in the United States. It began in 1762 as a teaching and a reference library for hospital administrators, physicians and medical students. In addition to the thousands of medical and scientific volumes, the library contains numerous books on natural history and botany. Also present are various rare incunabula, books printed before 1501, during the infancy of printing press technology.
