UCLA History of Pain ProjectThe Project's goal is to promote and ensure the study of the history of pain research and pain therapy in the post-World War II era, in particular the origins, growth, and development of the international, interdisciplinary pain field. Its major intiatives to achieve this goal are the creation of the John C. Liebeskind History of Pain Collection at the Louise M. Darling Biomedical Library at UCLA and the active dissemination of information about the collection and the history of pain to appropriate audiences. |
