The quarterly meeting of the Medical Paralibrarian  group met on October 12, 2005 at Denison Memorial Library at The University Of Colorado at Denver and the Health Sciences Center at 1:30 PM.  It was convened by Jim Honour after a welcome to the group was given by Gerald Perry, Deputy Director of UCDHSC.  Jim made a couple of announcements and turned the meeting over to Kathy Field.

 

Kathy introduced Emily Epstein, a rare book cataloguer, at Denison.  Emily gave an enjoyable accounting of some of the rare books that she is in the process of cataloguing for Denison.  One of the most interesting was a first edition of an autobiography by Emma Edmonds  telling of her experiences during the Civil War.  She posed as a man and entered the union army during the Civil War to become a spy and a nurse.  Those in attendance were able to examine closely the books Emily brought to the meeting.

 

Approximately 15 people were in attendance.

 

Respectfully submitted,
