The Reynolds Historical Library is fortunate to have an extensive collection of primary and secondary resource material relating to Civil War medicine.  To get a sense of the titles in the collection, please visit our online bibliography, which has been divided into three tables, A-F, G-O, and P-Z. Entries in the tables are sorted alphabetically by author or, where no author is given, by title. Please note: This bibliography was recently updated in August of 2007. For additional information regarding holdings, search Horizon, Lister Hill Library's online catalog at http://www.uab.edu/lister/ (The Reynolds is part of Lister Hill Library of the Health Sciences).
