AIHP Executive Director Talks with DiscoveRx about Digital Collection - American Institute of the History of Pharmacy

Earlier this spring, AIHP’s Executive Director, Luc Richert, sat down with Logan Underwood, writer for DiscoveRx, the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Pharmacy’s newsletter, to talk about the National Endowment for the Humanities Grant awarded to the School of Pharmacy. The grant funded the digitization of archival materials and artifacts from the jointly-held collection of the School of Pharmacy and AIHP.

Read the interview her e.

Even though the grant is over, the work continues on the project and is expected to be complete in August. In the meantime, view the digitized collection her e and be on the lookout for new materials being added, like this bottle of ammoniated copper from the F.B. Power Collection.
