New York Weill Cornell Medical Center Archives http://www.med.cornell.edu/archives/

DearREADERs,
I was browsing through www.cyndislist.com this morning and stumbled across a listing I never would have discovered without Cyndi's help:

From time to time I receive requests for assistance in searching hospital records. This might assist readers with NY roots.

From the site: "The archival records include medical case histories from the New York Hospital (1808-1932) and from the Lying-In Hospital (1891-1932), as well as many other patient-related showing the changes in the patient population, and medical and nursing care over a period of 200 years."

"The Archives is a rich resource for women's history. Women are documented as physicians, nurses, patients, administrators and philanthropists who give time and money to help other women. The education of health care professionals with its formalization since our nation's start can be studied using a variety of records."
