I've edited the post to reflect your information. And thanks for alerting me to how wide your holdings are; I was thinking of my visit this fall, where I thought the Civil War medicine exbihit was the real gem. Thanks for the comment, Mike.

A lot of the Flickr pictures have nothing to do with military medicine either, like the thalidomide one that went up today. Our posting to Flickr actually started in Sept 2006 - it just took LOC's announcement to spur Ms. Stocker into mentioning us on the SAA's listserve which boingboing got -- and drastically increased our flickr site traffic. We're working on putting those scanned documents up on Internet Archive so feel free to check in with either of us.
