<p>The world-renowned NLM collection holds over 580 incunabula titles on subjects relating to science and medicine, from printed classical works of Galen and Hippocrates to materials on the plague and other "pestilences." The word <strong><em>incunabula</em></strong> comes from the Latin word <em>cuna</em> (cradle) and refers to books printed during the infancy of printing, which dates from the invention of moveable type (c. 1455) until 1500. Also included in NLMs incunabula collection are undated works previously believed to have been printed prior to 1501, but subsequently dated by scholars to the 16th century.</p>
<p>NLM is working to digitize and make freely available items from the incunabula collection. <a href="https://collections.nlm.nih.gov/?f%5Bdrep2.isMemberOfCollection%5D%5B%5D=DREPINCUN" target="blank">NLM Digital Collections</a> includes over one hundred and fifty items from the collection. This digital collection will grow over time as the Library scans more incunabula titles.</p>

<p>The East Asian collection holds approximately 3,000 books, manuscripts, prints, photographs, and pieces of ephemera from Japan, China, and Korea dating from the 15th-20th century. Nearly 1,000 items date from before 1850.<br />
The Library has recently begun a project to catalog the East Asian collection online using vernacular characters. We are also undertaking a project to microfilm the collection in order to make the texts available to other libraries in the U.S. and Asia. Texts of the online records have been transliterated to show romanized author and title information. The Library has recently begun a project to catalog the records using vernacular characters. The Japanese collection can be searched with keyword HMDJPN.<br />
