Excerpt:
The objective of the Wood Library-Museum of Anesthesiology is to collect and preserve literature and equipment pertaining to anesthesiology and to make available to the anesthesiology community, others in the medical profession and the public the most comprehensive educational, scientific and archival resources in anesthesiology.
The Wood Library-Museum is governed by a Board of Trustees of nine anesthesiologists who collectively envision the Wood Library-Museum as a completely integrated collection of books, audiovisual materials, rare books, current literature, equipment and artifacts. Twenty-two committees, appointed yearly, serve the Wood Library-Museum as expert consultants.
