Finding Historical Records at the National Institutes of Health (2015)

unapi

This paper provides a guide to finding historical records of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the US biomedical research agency funded by the federal government, and one of the world's largest research funding bodies. Such records are important to an understanding of the development of medicine and biomedicine after the Second World War, yet they can be difficult to find in the organizational maze that is the NIH. This article provides information on where records might be found, the ways in which such records might be obtained, and how the NIH manages the vast quantity of records it produces.
