History of Medicine Collections
150 years of medicine and nursing at Vanderbilt celebrated in ongoing exhibit
Albert Moll hypnotism collection now fully cataloged
In 1935, the Vanderbilt medical library acquired a unique, 840-item collection of books, pamphlets and newspaper clippings on hypnotism from the personal library of the prominent German psychiatrist Dr. Albert Moll. Offered sight unseen by a German bookseller, the multilingual collection offered a unique perspective on the history of hypnosis as well as related subjects.
