Since then, many <a title=\"Medical Heritage Library\" href=\"http:\/\/www.medicalheritage.org\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">libraries<\/a> have joined the MHL or contributed important digital collections. And they aren\u2019t all printed books: The University of California-San Francisco contributed over <a title=\"Internet Archive\" href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/tobaccoarchives\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3,000 videos<\/a> relating to the tobacco industry in the United States, ranging from commercials produced during the 1950s to news casts about the progress of anti-smoking campaigns from the 1990s.<\/p>\n<p>The National Library of Medicine\u2019s initial contribution to the MHL endeavor was the <a title=\"National Library of Medicine News\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nlm.nih.gov\/news\/medicine_in_americas.html\">Medicine in the Americas project<\/a>, whose scope was to digitize all the Library\u2019s monographs published in the U.S., Canada, and Latin America up to the year 1865: a total of <a title=\"NLM Digital Collection\" href=\"http:\/\/collections.nlm.nih.gov\/?f%5Bdrep2.isMemberOfCollection%5D%5B%5D=DREPMIA\">over 8,000 items<\/a> and over 1.5 million pages, most of which can be seen on <a title=\"Internet Archive\" href=\"http:\/\/archive.org\/details\/usnationallibraryofmedicine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NLM\u2019s Internet Archive Collections<\/a> page. Since the completion of that project, NLM has begun the second phase of Medicine in the Americas: scanning American books dating from 1866 to 1900. Additionally, the Library has just completed a project to <a title=\"National Library of Medicine News\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nlm.nih.gov\/news\/digitized_publications_productions.html\">digitize all NLM Publications going back to the 1860s<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The NLM is proud to have contributed this interesting title to the Medical Heritage Library, and to continue scanning and uploading many more in the coming years. This book and over 9,000 more digitized by the NLM are also available in our <a title=\"NLM Digital Collection\" href=\"http:\/\/collections.nlm.nih.gov\/\">Digital Collections<\/a>, and new items are added regularly as we continue our digitization efforts.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify; padding-bottom: 60px;\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/michael-j-north1.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"738\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/2013\/07\/03\/curators-welcome-benjamin-franklin-on-the-founding-of-the-nations-first-hospital\/michael-j-north-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/michael-j-north1.jpg?fit=268%2C351&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"268,351\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"5.6","credit":"","camera":"NIKON D800","caption":"","created_timestamp":"1372328096","copyright":"","focal_length":"58","iso":"320","shutter_speed":"0.016666666666667","title":""}\" data-image-title=\"Michael J North\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/michael-j-north1.jpg?fit=229%2C300&ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/michael-j-north1.jpg?fit=268%2C351&ssl=1\" class=\" wp-image-738 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/michael-j-north1.jpg?resize=80%2C105\" alt=\"Michael J.
