Finding Aids
To find archival materials, consult the finding aids on our website: Collections Listing. From the “Collections Listing” page, you can either browse by letter (for example, click on "B" to find "Joseph W. Beard Papers") or search by using the "Site Search" box in the upper right corner of the site. (This is best if you have a particular topic in mind, such as "polio" or the "Bell Building.")
Library Catalog
Our materials also may be searched by using the Advanced Search option in the Duke University Libraries catalog. Select “Medical Center” in the “Optional Search Limits Location” box and “Archival materials” from the “Format” drop down selections. You may also search for other kinds of materials the Archives and Medical Center Library owns using this drop down box, such as books and journals.
MEDSpace
MEDSpace is the Archives’ digital repository, which includes hundreds of digitized images relevant to the history of the Duke University Medical Center. Users can search for a particular individual or topic or browse by subject or collection.
