The space originally known as the general reading room for Olin Library has gone through multiple transformations since 1961. During the first year of Olin’s public life, the Main Library (soon to be officially named Uris Library) was closed. Room 102 became the reserve reading room and the undergraduates’ preferred reading room, where they could take advantage of smoking privileges. For many years, the room was the current periodicals reading room, and it was named in honor of Stephen McCarthy, the director of libraries who devoted tremendous time and energy to planning Olin Library. In 2001, it took on a new life as Olin’s café (now the Amit Bhatia ’01 Libe Café), a popular destination for students and faculty.
Gateway to Medical History
Highlights from the Edgar R. McGuire Historical Medical Instrument Collection
The “Gateway to Medical History” Project began in 2010 under the leadership of Dr. Gayle Brazeau, Dr. Edward Fine, Dr. Michael Hatton, and the Friends of the Health Sciences Library. The mission of this project was to create rotating displays in the Health Sciences Library’s lobby that would act as a gateway, inviting library patrons and visitors to investigate additional exhibits and historical materials in the Robert L. Brown History of the Health Sciences Collection in the lower level of the library.
Celebrating UB’s rich healthcare history, this new exhibit will help to illuminate the development of surgical and dental instruments, and medical models, and diagnostic tools that contributed to the advancement of medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing, and the health professions. The generosity of the donors and the hard work and support of all those involved has made this project a reality.
The Edgar R. McGuire Historical Medical Instrument Collection:
In 1985, Mrs. Annette Cravens founded the McGuire Instrument Collection in memory of her father. Housed within the Robert L. Brown History of the Health Sciences Collection, the McGuire Collection is an assemblage of more than two hundred medical instruments dating from the early Roman period to the late 20th century.
