Description
Sociologist Norman Edwin Himes (Ph.D. Harvard, 1932) researched problems of population, birth control, and marriage and family relations. His Medical history of contraception tracks the development of birth control from antiquity to the 1930s; the text was reprinted in 1963 and in 1970. In 1984, the Boston Medical Library received a bequest of Marian K. Weinberg, the former wife of Himes, to establish the Norman E. Himes Book Fund to acquire rare books and manuscripts, particularly items relating to birth control as a tribute to his areas of interest. This fund originated in the royalties, copyrights, and contracts from her husband
