Bibliographic Database of Ethnogeriatric Publications

Bibliographic Database of Ethnogeriatric Publications from 1980 to 1998

In 1987 when SGEC was first funded by the Bureau of Health Professions, there was very little published information on the health care of older adults from diverse ethnic communities, and there were no online search engines to locate and access those that were available. In order to develop comprehensive reviews of the available literature, SGEC began searching library and other sources to compile a comprehensive database of available publications, including “fugitive” literature in less accessible sources. SGEC maintains records and hard copies of over 3000 published articles and book chapters from the 1980s and 1990s related to ethnogeriatrics. For inquiries about accessing these archived materials, please email stanfordgec@stanford.edu .
