The Elizabeth Coates Paschall receipt book at the Historical Medical Library of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia was recently conserved thanks to a partnership with Winterthur/University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation. Following this conservation work, Library staff digitized the frequently-requested receipt book. It is now available via the Digital Image Library and Internet Archive.
