Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Collection on Women, Infants and Children
The Bioethics Research Library is home to the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Collection on Women, Infants and Children. This collection, established on April 14, 2003 on the occasion of the awarding of an honorary degree to her daughter, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, is named in Mrs. Kennedy’s honor in remembrance of her lifelong support for the welfare of the family.
Interested readers are invited to use the Collection, located in Healy Hall 102 on the main campus of Georgetown University. The Collection contains over 750 books covering health care and research for women, infants, and children. While the Bioethics Research Library is a non-circulating collection, patrons can request chapters from books and copies of journal articles from journals to which the library subscribes through their local library's Interlibrary Loan program.
