Neuroscience History in the MD/VA/DC area for ISHN 1998 meeting
The International Society for the History of the Neurosciences (ISHN)
will hold its 3rd annual meeting in Annapolis, Maryland from 7-9 June
1998.
Several attendees have expressed an interest in visiting archives and
special collections in the region and perhaps conducting research while
they are in the area. As a service to the ISHN, the Neuroscience
History Archives has mounted (on the UCLA Brain Research Institute's
web server) a guide to "Archives and Special Collections in Maryland,
Virginia & the District of Columbia":
<http://bri.medsch.ucla.edu/archives/annaprep.htm>
We would be most appreciative if curators/archivists/librarians in the
2-states-and-a-district region who have collections that might be of
interest to these historians would take a look at and make comments
about this web site. Send corrections, suggestions, and submissions
to: <rjohnson@library.ucla.edu> (please respond to this address, not
to the entire listserv!) We'll also have a guide to antiquarian
dealers in the region, but this hasn't been completed and mounted yet.
If your institution, organization, department, or company is hosting a
lecture, exhibit, or other activity that would be of interest to
meeting attendees and you'd like some free advertising, send us a
description (by e-mail or fax: 310-206-2753) and we'll announce this
through HISTNEUR-L, the HISTory of NEURoscience listserv, and
RETICULUM, a web gateway to neuroscience history resources, which can
be found at <http://bri.medsch.ucla.edu/archives/RETICULM.htm>
Thanks in advance for your assistance!
Russell Johnson
