Join The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh Library and Archive to view some of our rarest collections not on public display
The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh’s Library and Archive are delighted to offer the opportunity to view some of our rare collections not on public display. The College Library and Archive, which has its origins in the seventeenth century, has accumulated a world-renowned collection of significant surgical, medical and historical texts from around the globe, and we hope you will join us for an exclusive look at some of these items.
We will be exhibiting some of the oldest items in our collection, including a 1460 “Book of Hours”, and a superb copy of “The Nuremberg Chronicle” from 1493, as well as unique medical texts such as Henry Gray’s handwritten annotations on the first edition proof of “Gray’s Anatomy”. Ticket holders will be able to view these treasures and other rare items held by the College Library and Archive.
