Health Sciences Library at The Ohio State University

As we wrap up Mental Health Awareness Month, our hearts are with all those struggling everyday. More people are affected than we might think; over half of Americans will experience a mental health condition in their lifetime. Let's carry love and support everyday to help people receive better care. 💙

We are proud to have robust health sciences history special collections housed in our Medical Heritage Center (MHC). The collection includes rare books, medical artifacts and archival papers and is the only special collections of its kind in central Ohio.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, when shelter-in-place guidances were in place, the MHC needed to find a way to bring their in-person tours to the digital world.
