H. Richard Tyler Award Supports Neurology History Researchers 

Applications Due December 1, 2007

The American Academy of Neurology (AAN) established the 
H. Richard Tyler Award to encourage historical research using the 
AAN Library Collection at the Bernard Becker Medical Library at 
the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. The deadline 
to apply for the next H. Richard Tyler Award is December 1, 2007. 
Investigators of neurology related topics could receive up to 
$1,200 for research expenses. The award is open to AAN members 
and non-members. 

Applicants must submit a proposal that includes a hypothesis for 
use, background, and the objectives of the research. A curriculum 
vitae with a reference letter also is required. Upon completion 
of the research, the award recipient must submit a final research 
paper as well as an evaluation on use of the library collection. 

The AAN Library Collection contains a wealth of publications on the 
general history of neurosciences, as well as in-depth coverage of 
such topics as: 
· Development of neurosurgery
· Harvey Cushing
· Early French neurology (Charcot, et al.)
· Thomas Willis
· Neuroanatomy (early authors)
· Brain functions
· Phrenology

The library began with a donation of more than 3,000 neurology-related 
books by H. Richard Tyler, MD. It now comprises more than 7,000 
books, making it one of the most significant national or international 
research resources for the history of neurology and neurosciences. 
The library provides research assistance in an elegant reading room, 
as well as reference, photocopy, and photographic services including 
digitization. All materials in the AAN collection are easily retrievable 
and requests are filled on-site or via correspondence, telephone, 
and email.
