If you’ve visited our building, the Allen Memorial Medical Library in person this month, you may have noticed two new Dittrick Medical History Center exhibit cases on the 2nd-floor landing. We will regularly display exhibits in progress, unusual combinations of artifacts, and new collections research in these publically accessible “mini-exhibits.” One display, At the Dittrick, we’re exploring… presents new themes and ideas we’re developing for larger exhibits, events, and research projects. The second exhibit, What’s New (and Old) at the Dittrick? displays modern medical devices alongside their technological ancestors.
