Medical Heritage Library

Edward Jenner, Cow Pox (1798)Several large history of medicine libraries in the U.S. have begun a collaborative digital project called The Medical Heritage Library, as described in their blog:

The Medical Heritage Library promotes open access to historical resources in medicine, with 8,500 volumes currently available and more being added on an almost daily basis.
