Description
The Henry Ford Hospital Medical Bulletin began publication in 1953, and was published quarterly by Henry Ford Hospital and the Edsel B. Ford Institute for Medical Research. It was meant as a venue for recording and distributing the professional activities of Henry Ford Hospital staff, residents, and alumni, as well as materials related to academic and scientific meetings and symposia hosted by Henry Ford Hospital. In 1967, the bulletin's name changed to the Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal. The journal ceased publication in 1992. In 2019, Sladen Library of Henry Ford Hospital created an institutional repository to preserve and publicize Henry Ford Health System research, including the nearly 160 issues of the HFHMJ. Since then, articles from the journal have been downloaded 80,000+ times in 188 countries at over 3,000 different institutions. Upon request, these historical publications have been indexed in PubMed, with direct links to the HFHS Scholarly Commons. Lam Archives archivist Julia Pope and Sladen librarian JoAnn Krzeminski led the initial planning of and depositing into the repository, which is currently maintained by Sladen librarian Steven Moore. We will discuss the challenges and opportunities to preserving and promoting historical research in an era of open access.
