Reflected Moments: Images of the Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, New York, N.Y., 1957-1991

Elizabeth "Libby" Wilcox served for over thirty years as the unofficial photographer of the Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center in New York City. As the wife of Dr. Herbert "Bud" Wilcox, Jr., a graduate of Columbia's College of Physicians & Surgeons and a member of its faculty for many years, she was given unhindered access to the workings of the Medical Center. From 1957 to 1991, Libby's photographs illustrated every type of Medical Center publication. Her legacy is a remarkably comprehensive photographic record, over 100,000 images, of the people, places, activities and events of a major US academic medical center during a time of tremendous change in American health care.
