Join us for the opening of a new exhibit in the Rebecca and Rick White Gallery, and visit the exhibit from August 26th through December 2024!

This exhibit documents the complex history of nineteenth century mental health care using letters, asylum records, medical treatises, and patient accounts from Haverford College’s Quaker & Special Collections. The exhibit includes information on psychiatric care, the structures that surround and influence the operation of mental health institutions, and the evolution of mental health care while foregrounding patient
experiences as much as possible.
