Historical or Biographical Note
Eileen Roach Cunningham (1894-1965) was a Vanderbilt Medical librarian, author and international
leader in medical librarianship. She developed and published the Cunningham Classification for Medical
Literature. She also served as President of the Medical Library Association in 1947.
Eileen Roach Cunningham was born in 1894. Before coming to Vanderbilt, Eileen worked as a research
assistant in the anatomy department at Johns Hopkins. She joined the staff of Vanderbilt's medical
library in 1926, and she developed a new scheme of classifying medical literature by anatomical system.
Eventually, the Cunningham Classification for Medical Literature went through four published editions
and was adopted by medical libraries throughout the world. It was later used as the basis for both the
Army Medical Library and the National Library of Medicine's classification plans.
Mrs. Cunningham was appointed Associate Librarian at Vanderbilt School of Medicine in 1928 and
Head Librarian in 1929. Mrs. Cunningham was an active member of the Medical Library Association,
and chaired the MLA committee charged with obtaining foreign medical and scientific literature. In
1935, she attended the first conference of the International Federation of Library Associations. Mrs.
Cunningham's interest in international cooperation played an important part in the rest of her career. In
1947, she became only the third woman president in the Medical Library Association's history; and in
1949, she was honored with the first Marcia C. Noyes Award for medical librarianship.
After she formally "retired" in 1956 from Vanderbilt, she continued her work in the Medical Library
community. Within two years, she had gone off to organize the Basic Medical Sciences Institute in
Karachi, Pakistan. Thereafter, she continued her travels, attendance at library functions, and public service
work.
