Swedish Medical Center Historical Preservation and Education Initiative

Project tags:

archives & special collections

Swedish Medical Center had a collection of materials documenting their history that they were unable to adequately preserve. I worked with Jay Augsburger, their Medical Historian, to fand an organization that could hold and preserve those materials and to prepare them for transfer, as well as to use their information to prepare historical documents for SMC's staff and the public. This ensures that a key part of Seattle's medical history will remain preserved and available to those who need it.
