History of the NHD
The Native Health History Database (NHHD) was
developed in the early 1990s from the donated collection
of “Papers on Indian Health” by William W. Schottstaedt,
MD (1917‒2005). The NHHD was funded by a grant from
the U.S. Department of Education and administered by
the National Library of Medicine.
Later, the Native Health Research Database (NHRD),
which covers current materials, was funded by grants
from the Indian Health Service and the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services.
In 2007, NHHD and NHRD were merged to become
the Native Health Database. In 2013, HSLIC received
$35,000 from the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to
update and promote the NHD.
The UNM Health Sciences Library and Informatics
Center continues to maintain the Native Health Database
for the use of researchers, students, health care
practitioners and community members who have an
interest in American Indian Health.
