The Cleveland Health Sciences Library was formed in 1966 and
operates in two locations: The Allen
Memorial Medical Library, which has a collection of clinical
books and journals, and which is home to the Dittrick
Medical History Center and its collection of rare books,
archives, medical artifacts, and books on the history of medicine,
and the Health
