Zoological Health: About

NC State University advances the study of science and clinical issues in the health management of free-ranging and captive wildlife. The Special Collections Research Center (SCRC) within the University Libraries has identified the addition of primary source materials in zoological health as a collecting priority. 

As an official repository of the American College of Zoological Medicine and the International Association for Aquatic Animal Medicine, NC State University Libraries is excited to grow and preserve these important collections for generations of scholars.

To support these efforts, the Special Collections Research Center seeks collections which illustrate the history and scientific contributions of the pioneers and leaders in the comparative basic sciences and clinical sciences that are the foundation of the zoological health discipline.

In large part, this effort is supported by an endowment founded by Dr. Michael Stoskopf and Dr. Suzanne Kennedy-Stoskopf. This endowment supports:

• Growing the collection of archival and manuscript collections by identifying and soliciting papers from important scholars and practitioners in the history of the discipline
• Processing existing and future collections to make them broadly accessible to researchers
• Digitizing significant portions of seminal collections
• Integrating existing collections and finding aids into broader digital library and web environment
