| The Libraries’ Henry R. Winkler Center for the History of the Health Professions received a $100,000 grant from the John Hauck Foundation, thus reaching its fundraising goal to build facilities critical to the preservation of Cincinnati’s rare and fragile medical collections. This phase of construction will complete the Center’s new location within the Donald C. Harrison Health Sciences Library, allowing the Center to move its remaining collections out of Wherry Hall and create a consolidated facility. The completion of the Winkler Center will provide a secure and environmentally sound space for the storage and preservation of the center’s collections. The new facility will provide the following improvements to the Winkler Center’s ability to preserve its fragile collections:
Fifteen years ago, the John Hauck Foundation awarded the center a five-year grant to process and preserve the Sabin archives. Scholars and students now visit the Hauck Center for the Albert B. Sabin Archives on a regular basis to conduct research in medical, political, and social history, as well as bioethics. Paula B. Wharton, vice president & senior trust officer for Fifth Third Bank, emphasized the Hauck Foundation’s continuing commitment to the Center: “We are delighted to continue our partnership with the Winkler Center through this grant. This grant further solidifies the John Hauck Foundation’s 15-year relationship with the Winkler Center and reflects our mutual interest in preserving the legacy of Albert Sabin.” This final phase of building the Winkler Center’s facility will be completed in September 2011. |
