Himmelfarb Library announces the launch of a new digital collection in June 2017 in the Health Sciences Research Commons, the Historical Collection. The focus of the collection is the people, places, and events that make up the evolution of the George Washington University School of Medicine.

Items in the collection include, but are not limited to, photographs, newsletters, publications, and newspapers.  Some highlights include a telegram sent to a newly-accepted medical student, course catalogs from the 19th century, and images of buildings from the Columbian College, the predecessor of today’s George Washington University.

proquestebooksHave you had any difficulty accessing a Proquest or ebrary e-book?

Himmelfarb Library's ebrary e-books recently transitioned to the vendor's new Proquest Ebook Central platform and some users have experienced access issues.

When you access e-books via Proquest Ebook Central, you'll be prompted to select your institution (George Washington University) and then to login using your GW NetID and password (the same login/password used for GW email, Blackboard, GWireless, etc.).

If you encounter a message that says ""Your patron record was not found in the library patron database"

  • Contact the Gelman Library Circulation Desk (phone: 202-994-6840) and ask that your Voyager account be updated to include your GW email address.
