The UNC Health Sciences Library collects, preserves, and provides appropriate access to materials that document the historical continuum of the science and practice of the health disciplines. Special Collections includes digital collections, historical collections, archival collections, oral histories, instruments and realia, and provides research services and related programming in the history of the health sciences, such as exhibitions, lectures, workshops, and other events.
