That's a wrap for LAMPHHS 2023! We hope everyone staying on in Ann Arbor for #AAHM has a good meeting.

[Osler Library @OslerLibrary]

Proud day for the Osler. Congratulations to curators @RFDelMaestro and J. Mario Molina, each of whom was selected for a @lamphhs Recognition of Merit Award for their service to medical historical repositories. Well done, well deserved. #LAMPHHS2023

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

[LAMPHHS @lamphhs]

Welcome @Dr_C_Thompson!

[LAMPHHS @lamphhs]

A major theme today: access to records. Who's being denied access? Whose privacy is being violated?

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 not every day that historians get to impact public policy." -- @JAlexNav on @UMich's Center for the History of Medicine's 1918 influenza work influencing CDC guidelines for flattening the COVID curve

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

Archivists on receiving the incredible @DukeU Midwifery Records thanks to *complete* serendipity!

Good morning from Ann Arbor! #LAMPHHS

Mercury and asbestos and nitrate film, oh my! 😬 The LAMPHHS Ad Hoc Hazardous Materials Committee has compiled resources and guidelines to help us cope with those scary things we find in our collections: https://t.co/0dUsn1c6BP

The LAMPHHS conference kicks off with a steering committee meeting tonight in beautiful (and warm!) Ann Arbor. Looking forward to seeing some familiar and some new faces. #histmed
