Celebrating Archives Week (Oct. 22-26)

Hundreds of organizations in the archival community across North Carolina will celebrate Archives Week starting Oct 22nd. Medical Center Archives will observe this celebration with commemorative exhibits, including one in the Medical Center Library focusing on the sketches, caricatures, and drawings of Robert L. Blake (1943-1988), Coordinator, Department of Medical Illustration, Duke University School of Medicine.

Another exhibit is designed to familiarize viewers with the wealth of cultural and historical materials pertaining to the Medical Center that are available at the Archives. It will be located at the entrance to the Mary Duke Biddle Rare Book Room in the Perkins Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collections Library.
