Micaela Sullivan-Fowler, a librarian at UW-Madison’s Ebling Library for the Health Sciences, has organized many exhibitions in the library's historical reading room, on topics such as World War 1 and the 1918 pandemic, informed consent and the “mixed blessing” of radiation.
Before the Food and Drug Administration in 1997 eased restrictions on direct-to-consumer ads by drug companies, leading to the flood of television ads today, most drug ads were targeted at doctors in printed medical journals.
This 1945 Camels ad was directed at doctors returning from World War II.
"The Vault," at UW-Madison’s Ebling Library for the Health Sciences, contains materials dating back to the 15th century, including a first edition of the influential anatomy text "On the Fabric of the Human Body in Seven Books," by Andreas Vesalius, published in 1543.
Micaela Sullivan-Fowler is working on her last exhibition at Ebling Library for the Health Sciences: "Swan Song: Adoration & Thanks for All Who Made This Possible," about donation of books, materials and bodies in the name of science. It will open Nov. 13.
