Historical T-Waves and Jambalayas are online!

Historical Tulane yearbooks have been scanned for online access. These past yearbooks are available in the Internet Archive. This digital collection contains the complete run of the Jambalaya yearbook (1896-2008), as well as issues of the T-Wave, the yearbook of the Tulane University School of Medicine which began publication in 1982.

Thanks go to the University Archives for the planning and implementation of this scanning project. University Archives is a department within Tulane University's Special Collections Division of the Howard-Tilton Memorial Library which preserves the official records of Tulane University.

Search T-Wave to find the School of Medicine yearbooks since 1982. Search within the volumes for your kin that graduated in years past.

MacBaby Embryology Resource: Technology update

MacBaby is an older program that was written for 32 bit computers. It will not work on any Apple or Windows 7 (64 bit computers). It is installed on the Matas Library computers running Windows XP, which are all the computers in the back room of the 24/7 area, and all computers on the mezzanine. There is a link to additional anatomy resources on the Learning Portal.

Our Technology Department is seeking a solution for the newer computers.
