HistoryofMedicine.com

An interactive annotated bibliography of the history of medicine, biology and dentistry from c. 2000 BCE to c. 1980 by Fielding H. Garrison, Leslie T. Morton, and Jeremy M. Norman.

Garrison (1870-1935), and later expanded and improved by the English medical librarian Leslie T. Morton (1907-2004) - a key reference work, which became known as Garrison-Morton or Garrison & Morton. Jeremy M. Norman took over the project and published a 5th revised and expanded edition in 1991, and subsequently developed this website.
