HMS Library Grand Opening at the Watkinson Library
November 9, 2023 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
The Hartford Medical Society Collection Returns to Trinity College’s Watkinson Library
After nearly 125 years, the Hartford Medical Society Collection is at home in Hartford. Join us on November 9th from 5-7 PM at the Watkinson Library for a grand opening event celebrating the Hartford Medical Society's Collection. Last year marked a significant milestone for HMS as we successfully relocated our extensive collection of historical books, journals, and artifacts to the Watkinson Library at Trinity College. This remarkable feat involved moving over 30,000 volumes, 100 archival collections, and 550 medical instruments dating back to the 1500s.
We invite you to join us on special chance to explore the new home of the HMS Library, connect with fellow members, delve into medical history, and engage in meaningful discussions about how our past can inspire our future.
