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
