The University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences curates and builds unique digital exhibits of scholarship and education. The exhibits aim to engage the USAHS community and advance discussion about the sociocultural impact of medicine.
Each exhibit comprises of a collection of digital items (e.g., images, audiovisual files, etc.) and centers on a specific focus, with relevant contexts informed by the scholarly literature.
A digital exhibit may have a temporary physical installation at one or more of the USAHS campus libraries.
Virtual tours of exhibits are regularly offered. Check out our upcoming events for more information.
Individuals who would like to learn more about the digital and physical exhibits can contact our librarians at library@usa.edu.
