Frank B. Rogers was a distinguished medical librarian with a career history in military, legal, and medical libraries. He was known for his contributions to the National Library of Medicine (NLM). 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 Library Director for Denison from 1963-1975 and created the exhibits mostly during the early 1970s. Materials from the exhibits were donated to the library after his death and have now been digitized and made available through the CU Anschutz Digital Collections.

Rogers’ exhibits were more than just visual displays. For almost every exhibit, Rogers turned his research material into selected reading lists for those who wanted to learn more about a given subject. These lists included Library of Congress call numbers and suggestions about which chapters or passages of the reading materials were most useful.

Physical arrangement was also an important aspect of Rogers' exhibits. While traditional artifact displays are often housed in exhibition cases, Rogers' exhibits were frequently showcased on bulletin boards or other vertical surfaces. He even incorporated handwritten planning diagrams into his exhibit design process.
