Bloomingdale Asylum in the News!

Just a few days ago, as I turned on my home computer, accessed the internet and glanced at my Yahoo home page, I noticed that one of the news stories flashing across the Yahoo site dealt with the Bloomingdale Asylum. The Asylum, named after the area of upper Manhattan formerly known as Bloomingdale, once operated where Columbia University now stands. Established by New York Hospital in the early 19th century to care for the mentally ill, the records of the asylum now live here in the Medical Center Archives.
