The Dennis G. Pappas Historical Collections Gallery, a 3,000-square-foot space on the second floor of Lister Hill Library of the Health Sciences, will house rotating exhibitions featuring the Historical Collections of UAB Libraries.
The Pappas Gallery is the exhibition home to the Alabama Museum of the Health Sciences, the Reynolds-Finley Historical Library, and the UAB Archives.
Dennis G. Pappas Sr., M.D., and his son Dennis G. Pappas Jr., M.D., — both of whom specialize in otolaryngology — together have made a significant commitment to name the gallery.
