This National Library of Medicine’s traveling exhibit will be displayed in Love Library from April 14-May 24, 2014. The exhibit illustrates the brutality of the Civil War and the resilience of those who survived with serious disabilities.

Join us for the opening event of this exhibit when Susan Lawrence, Historian of Medicine at Ohio State University, will be discussing why the Office of the Surgeon General was so determined to document the casualties not only in words, but also in drawings and photographs, in order to make sense of the medical experience of the war. A reception will follow her presentation.
