The 2026 Health Sciences and Human Services Library (HSHSL) calendar is back for the fifth year. This year’s theme, "Botanical Marvels," highlights some of the most beautiful illustrations from the Historical Collections’ Pharmacy Historical Collection. You’ll find vibrant plates from William Curtis’ The Botanical Magazine, William Woodville’s Medical Botany, and Franz Köhler’s Köhler’s Medizinal-Pflanzen. These and other botanicals come from a remarkable collection that also includes pharmacopoeias, dispensatories, and herbals, with volumes dating to the 17th century.
The calendar was designed by Thom Pinho, lead instructional technology specialist, while the content was written and provided by Tara Wink, historical collections librarian and archivist.
A limited number of calendars are for sale for $10. They make fantastic gifts!
