Annotation:
The National Library of Medicine is one of the world's largest depositories of medical information - manuscripts, published materials and digital collections. NLM publishes Medline, a massive electronic database of full text articles and abstracts that have recently been published in the various medical fields. The Library itself hosts catalogues and databases providing researchers with a wealth of material. Though the focus of the library is on modern medicine and assisting medical researchers, the collections include a wide array of historical documents and manuscripts. The easily-navigable site also provides information on the library itself, which is located near Washington, DC.
