Hume-Kauffman Transplantation Library and Archives is a special library and archive for informational resources about organ and tissue donation and transplantation.

Responding to a growing demand for such information, UNOS established the UNOS National Transplantation Resource Center in 1987. As the world of organ and tissue donation and transplantation expands, so do the collection and services of the library, now named Hume-Kauffman Transplantation Library and Archives.
