The Dana Medical History Collection contains books, manuscripts and journals from the sixteenth century to the present. The emphasis of the collection is American medicine and health care in Vermont. Dana Library also maintains a collection of old and rare medical instruments.

The bulk of the Medical History Collection, including Dana Medical History, Vermont Medical History, and the oversized collections are now housed in the Medical History Room within Dana Medical Library. Not all material is housed in this location; some items remain at the LRA. Voyager records are being changed to accurately reflect the location of the materials. Dana staff members can assist you in locating medical history material.
Research assistance is available by appointment only. Appointments may be made by calling the Dana Reference desk at (802) 656-2201 or emailing the Dana Reference department.
