SIBBALD LIBRARY APPEAL 2012

PRESERVING A PHYSICAL COLLECTION INTO THE DIGITAL AGE

The books and manuscripts in the Sibbald Library chart the history of medicine and science. In 2012 we hope you will help us to take the long view and ensure that 22nd century researchers will be able to access our  physical record of medicine’s development and we are seeking funds to upgrade two key library storage areas

• Our strongroom
• Our annexe

The Sibbald Library Appeal in 2008 enabled a number of projects including

• Achive cataloguing and digitisation
• A new online book catalogue
• Talks, events, webcasts
