The New York Academy of Medicine adds a research destination to this stretch of Fifth Avenue. Its library covers the history of medicine and public health, with material extending to cookery and medical botany. The library dates to 1847 and has welcomed the public since 1878.

Plan a research visit

The Academy’s current library page lists public appointments Tuesday–Friday, excluding holidays, from 10 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. New York time. Request the materials you need at least three workdays before visiting: items are retrieved in advance and appointment space may be limited. These are library research hours, not a promise of unrestricted building access.

Start with the official library catalog or explore the digital collections remotely. Use the library’s visit guidance and scheduling link to arrange an appointment. A specific appointment, any service charges and individual access requirements must be confirmed with staff.
