Turning the Pages Online

June 19, 2009 |  Tagged | Leave a Comment




Thanks to today’s Scout Report I came across Turning the Pages Online, an initiative of the  British Library and the US National Library of Medicine that virtually you can turn the pages of “rare and beautiful” historical books in the biomedical sciences.

The site contains six important texts, including Vesalius’ seminal work, De Humani Corporis Fabrica and Conrad’s  Historiae Animalium.
