Home > The Robert S. Morison Library
The Robert S. Morison Library serves the Hastings Center's research programs. The library also supports the research interests of Hastings Center fellows, the visiting scholars Program, and the general public (by appointment). The library, first organized in 1970, is the oldest bioethics collection of its kind. Housed in what was originally constructed in 1955 as the gymnasium for The Malcolm Gordon School, the library is now the depository for over eight thousand books, journals and videotapes, and serves as the site for meetings of the Hastings Center research projects. The Center is working with the National Library of Medicine to establish the Center's archives at the NLM. Materials from the Center archives of cofounder Daniel Callahan are housed at Yale University. Inquiries regarding those materials should be directed to Manuscripts and Archives, Sterling Memorial Library, Yale University. The Center regrets that is is not able to respond to telephone requests for materials or research assistance. Telephone reference assistance is provided to members of the public through the National Reference Center for Bioethics Literature at 1-800-MED-ETHX (1-800-633-3849).
