Bibliography on "Electricity in Life"
Now Available on Bakken Web site

(http://www.thebakken.org/research/bibliography-on-electricity-in-life.htm)

The Bakken Library and Museum has published on its web site a bibliography of 760 secondary works relating to the history of electricity in medicine and the life sciences. Subjects included in this bibliography are the histories of electrotherapeutics, electrophysiology, electrocardiology, bioelectricity, electrodiagnosis, galvanosurgery, and electroencephalography. Entitled "Electricity in Life," the bibliography will be of interest to historians of science (both physical and biological sciences), technology (especially medical technology), and medicine, and to historians of related aspects of art, literature, spiritualism, and religion. It was compiled by David J. Rhees, Eric S. Boyles, and Mary Anne Andrei.

The bibliography is organized alphabetically by author and is searchable electronically by using the "Find" function under the "Edit" menu of most web browsers. In addition to secondary literature, there are separate sections devoted to bibliographies and reference works, guides to manuscript and archival resources, and modern editions of primary sources. Regular updates are planned, and scholars are encouraged to contribute additional citations via an email link. "Electricity in Life" may be accessed via the "Research" page of The BakkenŐs web site, which is located at www.thebakken.org.
