Abstract: This study explores the historical and academic scopes of bibliography with a particular focus on its role in the documentation and dissemination of medical knowledge. Entrenched in both library and information science and the history of medicine, the research examines how bibliographic techniques including analytical, descriptive, and textual bibliography support the collection, classification, and critical assessment of medical texts. Drawing on a diverse body of literature from the early evolution of bibliography to its modern applications in health sciences, this study emphasizes the significance of bibliographic work in compiling, organising, and preserving knowledge. Additionally, it highlights the utility of medical bibliographies for various patrons, including researchers, students, healthcare professionals, and patients. By presenting an annotated bibliography of sixty (60) relevant sources, the study offers a valuable reference point for those engaging in medical research and historiography. The research also situates the development of healthcare systems in Sierra Leone within a bibliographic and historical framework, illustrating how bibliographic resources can aid in contextualizing national health progress. Eventually, the study underscores the enduring importance of bibliographic methods in an era of digital information while advocating for their continued integration into multidisciplinary research practices.
