The McGovern Center seeks to document the history of medicine in Texas, specifically in Harris County, Houston and the Texas Medical Center, and to make that information broadly available. In addition to the items currently available on-line, the McGovern Center has many books, documents, maps, pamphlets, photographs and ephemera that deal with Texas medical history. Information about these items can be found through the HAM-TMC Library’s on-line catalogor by contacting the mcgovern@library.tmc.edu or hrc@library.tmc.edu.
