The Friends of the P. I. Nixon Medical Historical Library
The Friends Annual Newsletter gives a summary of recent Friends' activities and publicizes its major event of the year, the Friends' dinner-lecture in November. Exhibits on medical historical topics - often planned in conjunction with Friends' presentations - are researched and mounted by Pennie Borchers for the Health Science Center but are available as traveling exhibitions to other institutions as an educational service offered by the Library. For information about past Friends' activities, previous newsletters are available online. Friends Executive Board, 2007-2008
MembershipThe Friends have a deep appreciation for the Nixon Library's remarkable rare book collection and have joined together to see that the Special Collections are preserved, augmented and introduced to those who have not yet discovered them. The society meets periodically throughout the year for lectures, films, and a dinner- presentation in November. The Friends Newsletter, distributed in early October, gives a summary of the year's events and announces the forthcoming dinner. Membership is open to everyone!! The Friends always welcome new members. If you are interested in joining or would like to know more, please contact Special Collections Librarian Pennie Borchers at (210) 567-2400 - borchers@uthscsa.edu.
