Museum publication scans online

We're scanning tens of thousands of photographs each year, but also a few books. Here are links to ones that we began putting up on the Internet Archive last week. These are very large files - hundreds of megabytes - and there's a lot of reading that can be done here.

WW1 Medical History:

The Medical Department of the United States Army in the World War volume 1: The Surgeon General's Office (1923)

The Medical Department of the United States Army in the World War volume 2: Administration American Expeditionary Forces (1927)

The Medical Department of the United States Army in the World War volume 3: Finance and Supply (1928)

Very interesting stuff. I wonder how much of a risk reduction we would see if night workers started taking melatonin supplements.
