The National Library of Medicine, an arm of the National Institutes of Health, has received a grant to digitize items from its historical medical collections. Digital versions of thousands of medical materials will be done, some of the items dating back to the 17th century. The 30,000 digitized volumes will be made publicly available and there are plans to allow web access to the collection.
