Selected library research guides:
- The Archive of Healinghealing practices from around the world: source materials include archival holdings, published books, fieldnotes from anthropologists and folklorists, and materials provided by students in classes at UCLA. Hosted on the UCLA library servers.
- Nursing Clioan open access, peer-reviewed, collaborative blog project that ties historical scholarship to present-day issues related to gender and medicine. Bodies, reproductive rights, and health care are often at the center of social, cultural, and political debates. We believe the issues that dominate today’s headlines and affect our daily lives reach far back into the past — that the personal is historical.
