Stop by the main floor of the library to pay a visit to the Henkel Physicians exhibit. This exhibition was developed and produced by the National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health, curated by Jim Labosier.
The Henkel Physicians: A Family’s Life in Letters offers a glimpse into the daily lives of men of medicine in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley during the 19th century. While it documents the working lives of physicians, it also illuminates social and home life and how one family experienced the Civil War. Covering more than a century of life in the Shenandoah Valley during which four members of the remarkable Henkel family practiced in the same area, this exhibition features a selection of writings that vividly illustrate the writer’s personality and their experiences as physicians. The letters cover local events, professional jealousies, the national crisis of the Civil war and finish with the dramatic testimony of the Henkel physicians in a murder trial.
You can view the vivid history of the Henkel Family at the Health Sciences Library until March 9th. Feel welcome to sign the guestbook as well. Click here for more information on the exhibit.
