Key question for those of us whose collections involve human remains: how should we steward collections that were originally envisioned as teaching collections and have now outgrown that purpose? #LAMPHHS

Key point from our keynote: Good public health policy in a pandemic is not just pivoting to individual responsibility and saying, “Be safe, it’s on you now!” True in 1918, true now. #LAMPHHS

It’s always good to take a minute to remember all the things library/archives work teaches us about *life*, and how the relationships we build are key. #LAMPHHS

Gino Pasi from U of Cincinnati points out that sometimes the challenges of exhibits include your donor’s copies of Vesalius being in his castle in Scotland, which in the time of COVID made retrieving them difficult. @lamphhs

New game: is it gyro meat or is it stacked prescriptions hanging on a wire? #LAMPHHS2022

Why are the #1950Census records open to the public starting today? A little-known policy about U.S. census records: 72 years after a count's Census Day (April 1), the National Archives releases them. Why 72 years? That’s a mystery… npr.org/2022/02/04/107456693…

The U.S. census's 72-year confidentiality rule has a strange history

Under federal law, the U.S. government must restrict access to people's records for the once-a-decade tally until 72 years after a count's Census Day. The exact origins of that timespan are murky.

BUT, really, would Dr. Parkes have said "Wear a mask!" in the 1880s? We have a blog post for that! "Medical Education during the Germ Theory Transition": bit.ly/395aN6L PIC: Rush surgical clinic, 1887 @rushumedcollege @RushSurgery

Parkes was an expert in abdominal surgery, particularly gun shot wounds. He helped build the surgical dept at Rush's historic Presbyterian Hospital, est. 1883. Read his 1884 piece, "Gun-shot Wounds of the Small Intestines": bit.ly/2XYcI6O Not for the faint of heart! 🐕
