Due to a flood over the weekend, the US Navy’s BUMED’s Office of Medical History will have an interruption in archival services. 95% of the collection was completely unaffected, but due to wet flooring and drywall, all of it will have to be packed up and placed in storage for at least a month. A set of 19th century hospital plans and maps did get wet, but are being freeze-dried.
For the next four weeks, limited reference services will be available. Telephone service has been interrupted, and voice mail messages should not be left.
Contacts are Archivist Michael Rhode at michael.rhode@med.navy.mil
