Visiting the Philip S. Hench Walter Reed Yellow Fever Collection

Researchers can view the original materials in the Philip S. Hench Walter Reed Yellow Fever Collection at the Claude Moore Health Sciences Library. We are located in the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville. Our Historical Collections & Services department is generally open to researchers Monday-Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Policies for using the collection are the same as those for other special collection materials housed at the Claude Moore Health Sciences Library. These policies are posted on the Historical Collections & Services webpage.

Finally, an appointment to view the collection is not necessary before you visit, but it is highly recommended. An appointment allows our staff to prepare the collection before your arrival and ensures that we are available to help. You can make an appointment by contacting the library’s Historical Collections & Services department.
