Surgeon General's Office Library Catalogues

The following links are to copies of the first (1840) handwritten catalogue, and extremely rare copies of the first printed (1864), and the second printed (1865) catalogues produced for the Surgeon General's Office Library before and during the Civil War.  There are very few people who have ever seen these catalogues as only a few copies survived.  The textbooks were selected by the Surgeon General's Office staff for the U. S. Army Medical and Hospital Department use prior to, but mainly during the Civil War.  These catalogues and the Reynolds Library collections are the basis for this collection.  Where possible, the exact same edition is in the collection as the one shown in the catalogue.  If not the same edition then the intent is to obtain one published during the War.
