MOST SUCCESSFUE E W R  On October 27, 1999, DL and Mrs. DavidA.Ott invited some of Houston's most fascinating people to join the Friends of the Texas Medical Center Library for an evening of conversation and new ideas. Many Houstonians responded to the invitatior and joined the Friends at the Houston Country Club for cock~~i ls  and dinner. The evening was a celebration of the fiRy years the Houston Academy oLMedicine-Texas Medical Center Libray has served the l-louston community. Since 1958, the hnds  raised by the Friends (over $250,000 in 1999) have been used to support the Library's biomedical and nursing colleclions, services to the public and the health care Dr. James H. D u b  & community, or special projects which are not a part of the Mrs. David A Ott Library's budget. Recently the Friends selected two such areas on which to focus their support. One, the Jesse H. Jones Community Ilealth Infomiation Service, allows the Libra~y to reach out into the community, providing information on diseases and liealtli care to the public and joining with public libraries and public health agencies lo improve access to health information in Houston. One component of this project is the TEXAS HealtlInfo Website (fxhilibrary,~tncedu). Dr. & Mrs. Denton Cooley Health informatics ~ducatio" Ctr. 799-7128 A second projcct being facilitated by the Friends is that of prioritizing and processing special Education and Training 799-7 154 collections relating to the history and development of the Texas Medical Center. (See story McGovern Historical Center 799-7139 PhotocopylIntcrlibrary Loan 799-7179 last page ) in order to make them available for researchers. Several members ofthe Friends Publicatioris Services 799-7 120 Board of Directors have bcen working closely with thc stan' ofthe Libray's John P. McGovern Historical Collections and Research Center to solicit new manuscript collections and secure gifts for the historical collections. Mr. & Mrs. L. Irvin Barnhart Many thanks are due the 1999 Dinner Committee, notably Dr. and Mrs. David Ott, and to all the members of the Friends Board for their work on the Library's behalf. Thanks specially to this year's Most Fascinating honorees.

Anderson Cancer Center (circa 1962) The John P. McGovern Historical Collections and Research Center is the only historical repository with a major focus on collecting and preserving documents concerning the history of health care in Houston, Texas. The manuscript collections in the McGovern Center are not just ofregional interest; they record the achievements of individuals and institutions that have influenced national health care policy and have been innovators in medical and surgical care. Over the past decade, marvelous collections have been donated to the HAM- TMC Library. These include the personal and professional papers of R. Lee Clark, MD, Sam A. Nixon, NID, Fredeiick C. Elliott, DDS, Russell J. Blattner, MD, Dr. Ernst Knobil and Joseph L. Melnick, PhD. These collections and hundreds more provide the foundation for all hture research on the history of health care in Houston and the development ofthe Texas Medical Center. The Friends of the Texas Medical Center Library have made a major commitment to this historical project by donating $180,000 to process collections and to provide public access in print and electronic form to the catalogue of collections and to selected documents within them. Two new staff members, aproject archivist and a technician, will process collections ofpersonal papers already in the archive, prepare guides to historical collections, and help to index the Texas State Board of Medical Examiners licensure files. Over four hundred titles-newsletters, journals and reports fi-om Texas Medical Center hospitals and schools-will be added to the Library's This photograph of DK Russell Blattner (on right) online catalog. Beginning with the l95Oys, the early days of the Texas re"iew"gplans@r Hospilnl with DK David Gveev (on lefl) and MK MI;: Martin Medical Center, these materials document the stages of institutional is one of  nearly 10,000 phofographs in [he - A development and the generous contributions made by Houstonians to McGovern Center documenting Houslon k biomedical research and health education. Some of the earliest, most hisLov fragile newsletters will be scanned for viewing on the Internet. The Houston Medical History Project outlined above is part of a much larger project, the John P. McGovern Digital History ofMedicine Library. To support this digital library, the HAM-TMC Library will find additional personnel and equipment to provide web access to materials on Texas medical history.
