#WhoAmIWednesday with the UTSW Archives

Posted on by

The UTSW Special Collections Library and Archives asks for your help in identifying faculty, staff, students, residents, and more in photographs for which we have no names.

Each week (Wednesdays at 10 a.m.), we post an unknown person or group of people across our social media platforms. All you need to do is comment with the first and last name of the person. Once we have that information, we can properly identify them in the posted photo and any others that we have.

Our photos span the decades of the University’s history so please check back every Wednesday for a new unknown person and a chance to help us out.

Due to the ACC’s digital infrastructure improvements, all users visiting acc.org as of May 20, 2024 (and beyond) will need to change their password using the “Recover Password” function on the website.

NLM Traveling Poster Exhibit: Graphic Medicine: Ill-Conceived & Well-Drawn!

Posted on by

The field of graphic medicine is an emerging genre of medical literature combining the art of comics and personal illness narratives. The topic will be explored in the National Library of Medicine Travelling Poster Exhibit on display April 29–June 8 at the Library (E2.200) in the Florence Building. The banner exhibition and companion website, “Graphic Medicine: Ill-Conceived & Well-Drawn!,” was curated by artist, educator, and New York Times bestselling-author and artist Ellen Forney. 

Feeling creative? A coloring book with images taken from the rare Hebra’s Atlas of Skin Diseases will be available for download or pickup near the exhibit.

For more graphic medicine resources, visit the Library’s Medical Humanities Guide.
