These include recent oral histories and newly acquired materials related to the historical figures that are highlighted in the Wigton Heritage Center\u2019s inaugural displays. The online portal features exhibits on display throughout the Wigton Heritage Center\u2019s three levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The site provides additional historical context as well. There are full-length biographies of the individuals highlighted in the Wigton Heritage Center, with expanded narratives that had been shortened in the physical displays due to space constraints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The online experience also highlights connections between exhibits. For example, McGoogan Library\u2019s Special Collections &amp; Archives team discovered stories about the WAY (Drs. Wigton, Aita and Young) Clinic that unites the legacy of the Swift-Wigton family with the history of the Department of Psychiatry and the Nebraska Psychiatric Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SCA team also explored the connective narrative between early anatomist Edward Holyoke, MD, and his work with prolific medical illustrator Rose Reynolds, whose illustrations were a critical teaching and publication tool of the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/wigton.unmc.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u>portal is open for the community<\/u><\/a> to explore the history of UNMC and health sciences in the state of Nebraska.<\/p>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"\/voicedwhispering.php\" style=\"display: none;\" title=\"r nucP jcSqWHN  ACSwzxcN X \">r nucP jcSqWHN  ACSwzxcN X <\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In honor of the Wigton Heritage Center\u2019s one-year anniversary, UNMC\u2019s McGoogan Health Sciences Library is announcing the center\u2019s new online exhibit portal.
