Osler Library Prints Collection

"The Osler Library Prints Collection brings together a rich variety of visual documents related to the history of medicine, spanning several centuries, countries, and artistic media. Ranging from the seventeenth to the twentieth century, the collection consists predominantly of prints, though it also includes some photographs, drawings, posters, and cartoons. Medical professionals throughout history are represented largely through portraiture, as well as through caricatures and scenes. The images in this collection, acquired from various donors at different times, are fascinating for both their historical significance and their artistic merit. Straddling the disciplines of art and science, the collection is a valuable resource on the history of medicine and the history of portraiture." [from the website]

WU users can now download books from HathiTrust

As of January 1, 2012, the WU Libraries joined the HathiTrust Digital Library, whose goal is to digitize, preserve, and increase online access to library collections. The trust derives its name from hathi (pronounced "HAH-tee"), the Hindi word for elephant.

HathiTrust began in 2008 and has grown to over 10 million volumes. Content covers subjects and disciplines in the Humanities, Sciences, and Social Sciences in over 425 languages.

WU faculty, students, and staff can:

  • Download 2.7 million+ volumes in the public domain. About 70,000 full-view titles are in science, medicine and technology. Most of these are pre-1923.
  • Search the full text of 10 million+ volumes. Search page (including fulltext search). You can also search within the full text of a specific item.
  • Create personalized collections of items in HathiTrust
You can search for HathiTrust Catalog directly from the WU Libraries' website using the eBooks tab. Note: Hathi books are not included in the WU catalog except by request. Please let Ruth know if you need something added, for example, for convenient student access.
