The Historical Collections of Lister Hill Library comprise the Alabama

Reynolds Historical Library.  The Museum holds equipment, instruments, 
and objects that represent the history and development of the health 
sciences. Among its featured holdings are the Nott pathological 
specimens, nineteen wax anatomical models purchased by Dr. Josiah Nott 
(1804-1873) and originally brought to Mobile, Alabama in October of 
1860.  The scope of the collection includes, but is not limited to the 
fields of medicine, nursing, ophthalmology, dentistry, public health, 
and allied health. 
            
The Archives contain over 1,500 linear feet of processed materials 
relating to the medical school of the University of Alabama, the 
University of Alabama at Birmingham, the Alabama health science 
community, and other primary resource materials that include personal 
papers and an extensive collection of photographs.  The Reynolds 
Library contains historical materials relating to medicine and its 
allied sciences.  The core of this library comprises the
5,000 titles collected by Dr. Lawrence Reynolds (1889-1961) and officially
transferred to UAB in 1958.  Included in his original library are some 30
incunabula dating from the 14th century and other medical classics. In
addition, the Reynolds Library contains an extensive and growing collection
in Civil War medicine, significant holdings relating to the famous Ohio 
Valley physician Daniel Drake (1785-1852), complete transactions for 
the Southern Surgical Association dating from 1888, and many other 
valuable research materials.  For further information on the
