The New York Academy of Medicine Library

The New York Academy of Medicine is home to one of the nation’s most significant historical libraries in medicine and public health. The Library’s collections span medicine, public health, food and cookery, New York City history, botany, natural history, and much more. All proceeds from the Library shop support the preservation of the Library’s collections and its public programming in history, the humanities and the arts. Discover the stories behind the collection images seen in the shop on the Library’s blog at www.nyamcenterforhistory.org, or find out how you can visit these treasures in person at www.nyam.org/library.
