Located in the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Pharmacy at 777 Highland Ave, Madison, WI 53705, AIHP is home to collections of manuscripts, artifacts, and reference materials to preserve and share the stories of pharmacy’s past, publishes the peer-reviewed journal History of Pharmacy and Pharmaceuticals, and sponsors programs, grants, and awards that advance research and teaching.
Our space brings together pharmacists, researchers, students, historians, and members of the pharmacy community to explore the people, objects, and ideas that have shaped the profession.
Housed at the School of Pharmacy since our founding in 1941, we have evolved in tandem with changes at the School. In 2001, we moved to our current location with the rest of the School of Pharmacy, leaving our longtime home in Chamberlin Hall at 425 N Charter St.
