Recent Donation to the Historical Research Center Collection A recent donation to the Center Collection came from Dr. C. Winston Brown, faculty at UAMS in Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. The item was a small handwritten notebook belonging to a family member who was a physician in Clark County Arkansas during the 1800s. The notebook contains directions for pills and concoctions that would have been used then by practicing physicians. It provides documentation of the methods of medical practice in Arkansas during that period of time. Such donations help to preserve the history of the health sciences in Arkansas. The Center provides a repository for these items
so that present and future historians can have access to them. If you
have any items you would like to donate to the Center contact Margaret
Johnson in the Historical Research Center in the UAMS Library. She can
be contacted by phone, 501-686-6733, or via e-mail at JohnsonMargaretA@uams.edu.
