We are excited to announce the end of a big transformation for the Medical Heritage Library! Last year, our governance board decided to incorporate the Medical Heritage Library, separating the organization from our parent non-profit educational and cultural institutions. As our own stand-alone entity, and to continue our mission as a collaborative digitization and discovery organization committed to providing open access resources in the history of healthcare and the health sciences, we applied for 501(c)(3) non-profit status. In early June we finally received the great news from the IRS that our non-profit status was approved. We want to take this opportunity to thank Dustin Lauermann, formerly an associate with Blank Rome in Philadelphia, and now an associate with Seyfarth Shaw in Los Angeles, for his – and Blank Rome’s – pro bono support of this effort. We look forward to continuing our work through grants and support from our users and other organizations.
