“Osteopathy Is…” Handwritten definition written by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, M.D., D.O. Donor: Dr. and Mrs. Reinhart in memory of Dr. Clifford Dartt, DO [2003.56.01]

The collections of the Still National Osteopathic Museum include more than 27,000 objects, photographs, documents, and books dating from the early 1800s to the present (bulk 1870-1940). The core of the collection consists of artifacts from A. T. Still's professional and private life, most of them donated by Dr. Still's daughter, Blanche Laughlin, and members of her family.

Since the founding of the Museum, other family members, D.O.s and Museum supporters have donated many additional artifacts that reflect the ongoing history of the osteopathic profession. The research collections of the National Center for Osteopathic History also include many former holdings of the ATSU-KCOM Library's special collections, for which the museum assumed responsibility in 1997.
