The '''United States National Library of Medicine''' ('''NLM'''), operated by the United States federal government, is an institute within the [[National Institutes of Health]], located in Bethesda, Maryland. Its collections include more than seven million books, scientific journals, technical reports, manuscripts, microfilms, photographs, and images on medicine and related sciences, including some of the world's oldest and rarest works. As such the NLM is recognized as the world's largest medical library.<ref name="DeBakeyTheNat91">{{cite journal |title=The National Library of Medicine: Evolution of a premier information center |journal=JAMA |author=DeBakey, M.E. |volume=266 |issue=9 |pages=1252–8 |year=1991 |pmid=1870251 |doi=10.1001/jama.266.9.1252}}</ref>

==History==
The precursor of the National Library of Medicine, established in 1836, was the Library of the Office of the Surgeon General of the Army.<ref name="NLM175" /> The Armed Forces Institute of Pathology and its Medical Museum were founded in 1862 as the Army Medical Museum. Throughout their history the Library of the Surgeon General's Office and the Army Medical Museum often shared quarters. From 1866 to 1887, they were housed in Ford's Theatre after production there was stopped, following the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln.<ref name="NLMHist" /><ref name="NLM175" />

In 1956, the library collection was transferred from the control of the U.S. Department of Defense to the U.S. Public Health Service of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare and renamed the National Library of Medicine, through the instrumentality of Frank Bradway Rogers, who was the director from 1956 to 1963. The library moved to its current quarters in Bethesda, Maryland, on the campus of the National Institutes of Health, in 1962.<ref name="NLMHist" /><ref name="NLM175" />
