NLM Announces: Historical Anatomies on the Web

[NNLM PNR]

NLM's History of Medicine Division has launched Historical Anatomies on
the Web, a new digital project that broadens access to the Library's rich
collection of illustrated anatomical books, which date from the 15th
century. The new Web site, which can be found at:

	http://www.nlm.nih.gov/exhibition/historicalanatomies/home.html,

emphasizes images rather than text. So far, the site includes 120 images
from five anatomical books by Andreas Vesalius, Johannes de Ketham, Magnus
Hundt, Albrecht Drer, and Bernardino Genga. Images from nearly 20 other
anatomical works will be added in the future.
