In 1995 the Hauck Center for the Albert B. Sabin Archives was established at the Cincinnati Medical Heritage Center (CMHC) with a grant from the John Hauck Foundation. This Foundation was created in 1989 by Dr. Frederick A. Hauck, one of Cincinnati's most distinguished citizens and an avid supporter of historic preservation. Foundation Officer Carolyn F. McCoy remarked, "Having experienced the effects of polio within his own family. Dr. Hauck was both a friend and supporter of Dr. Sabin and we are very pleased to assist CMHC with the preservation of his historic research documentation." CMHC is part of Academic Information Technology and Libraries Department on the campus of the University of Cincinnati Medical Center and serves the University, local hospitals, the Cincinnati community, and researchers worldwide as a reference and research facility for information concerning the history of the health sciences. CMHC accommodates one of the finest medical history collections in the nation, which includes 63 private archival collections, one of which is Dr. Albert Sabin's.

Dr. Sabin, developer of the oral polio vaccine, donated his complete correspondence, laboratory materials, manuscripts, awards and medals to CMHC. His papers document both the development and testing of the oral polio vaccine and the growth of virology as a discipline. The creation of the Hauck Center has enabled CMHC to hire a professional archivist to inventory and preserve this irreplaceable collection of medical history for future study and research.
