The Eyes Have It

Historical Anatomies on the Web is another great project from the National Library of Medicine’s History of Medicine Division.

From the introduction:

“Historical Anatomies on the Web is a digital project designed to give Internet users access to high quality images from important anatomical atlases in the Library’s collection. The project offers selected images from NLM’s atlas collection, not the entire books, with an emphasis on images and not texts. Atlases and images are selected primarily for their historical and artistic significance, with priority placed upon the earliest and/or the best edition of a work in NLM’s possession.“

They also list almost 25 other titles they plan on adding to the site as the project evolves.
