Center for the History of the Health Professions
The Center for the History of the Health Professions (CHHP) is a local, state, national and international resource of books, journals, archives, photographs and medical artifacts for the history of medicine in Cincinnati and the history of medicine in general.
Ultimately, these library collections and collections of physicians and faculty formed the basis of the rare and classical works in the history of medicine, a working medical library of the 19th Century including the sectarian views and teachings, medical artifacts, medical instruments, manuscripts, archives, photographs and the exhibit of a 15th Century Pharmacy, which was first shown at the Paris Exposition in 1899. All the collections have been donated by people with a vision of the preservation of medical history.
A fund has been set up to support the center’s new facility, providing a sound environment for its unique and nationally recognized collections, additional exhibit space for museum pieces, and work space for researchers and others interested in the history of the health professions in the Cincinnati area.
