A street in the town as well as the Municipal Library have received his name. In 2003, shortly before his death, he was awarded the Villa Gold Medal. To all this is added the respect, affection and admiration of all its neighbors. Wanting to complete these distinctions, the Guijuelo City Council dedicates a Room-Museum to the figure of a great doctor, disseminator and promoter of the cultural life of the Villa de Guijuelo. What can we find in this Room-Museum? David Hernández Ingelmo was, above all, a bibliophile and a great reader. He liked to collect all kinds of books and was a regular at the antique book fair, where he acquired numerous 19th century copies on the most diverse subjects, but especially on medicine. The list of their preferences in terms of readings is wide and varied. Among them, the following stand out: His passion for art, history and archeology: this section includes works and collections on archeology, art and history of Spain, the history of Castilla y León and the history of Salamanca and its province. His great religious fervor: this section collects a great collection of biblical books, lives of saints and other curiosities of the Christian religion. Sus lecturas favoritas: destacan las biografías de personajes emblemáticos, libros de misterio y supersticiones, los clásicos de literatura y relatos de todo tipo. La Universidad de Salamanca: bajo este epígrafe se recogen, principalmente, manuales con la historia de la Universidad y antiguas guías para el estudiante de la época. Salamanca en la Literatura: este apartado recopila obras de autores con algún nexo de unión con Salamanca (Diego de Torres Villarroel, Jose María Gabriel y Galán, Miguel de Unamuno, Fray Luis de León, etc.) y obras literarias en las que Salamanca es protagonista. Historia local de Guijuelo: colocados en vitrina, se han recogido todos aquellos fondos (libros, fotografías y documentos en general), que recogió David Hernández sobre la historia local de la Villa.
