The Wigton Heritage Center

A Digital Exploration

Welcome to the online exhibit gallery featuring stories of the well-known and unknown personalities from the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) and health sciences practitioners across the state of Nebraska. Like the physical building on UNMC’s Omaha campus, this virtual presentation serves as a catalyst for understanding, experiencing, and appreciating UNMC’s heritage. The Special Collections and Archives of the Leon S. McGoogan Health Sciences Library come alive to educate, engage, and enlighten visitors about the people and innovations that have affected the lives of countless Nebraskans and others around the world.


We invite you to explore and contact us with suggestions or questions. We hope you will come visit us in person in Omaha soon.
