A new web exhibition, curated by Dr. Elizabethanne Boran (Librarian of the Edward Worth Library) on the History of Dr. Steevens Hospital has been launched. It is the sixth in a series of website exhibitions which, to date, have explored aspects of the holdings of the Worth Library. This builds on the very valuable ongoing work in History of Medicine in Ireland and indeed fits nicely with the recent web exhibition of the History of the Rotunda Hospital by our fellow librarian Anne O Byrne.
For further details about the Edward Worth Library please link to the website: www.edwardworthlibrary.ie.
