ASM has substantial collections of material relating to the history of microbiology, which are maintained in the Albin O. Kuhn Library at the University of Maryland Baltimore County. The collection has been acquired almost entirely through the generosity of our members, either through direct gifts of books, papers, photographs, etc., or through monetary donations which have been used to purchase items for the collection. Member donations accompanying their membership renewals enabled a recent purchase of more than 50 books, including a number of older volumes of interest. Three of these are described below, and additional material regarding these purchases is available online.
