Rogers History of Medicine

Frank B. Rogers was a storied medical librarian with a career history in military, legal, and medical libraries known for his contributions to the National Library of Medicine (NLM). However, after retiring from NLM, Rogers came to work for the University of Colorado Medical Center’s Denison Memorial Library. During his decade at Denison, Rogers researched, created, and displayed exhibits on the History of Medicine. Rogers was the Director for Denison from was 1963-1975 and did these exhibits mostly during the early 1970s. Materials from these exhibits were donated to the library after his death and have recently been digitized as part of virtual collection through Strauss Health Sciences Library’s digital repository.
