Description: | The university's medical collections are a core resource in medical and health teaching. The collection includes photographs taken by Alexander Cain for the Anatomy Department. The images were included in Professor Robert Lockhart's influential textbook published in 1959, 'Anatomy of the Human Body' and his 1948 publication 'Living Anatomy'. A series of lithographic plates document anatomical organs and the anatomical state of conjoined twins. Additionally, the collection holds a series of plates from Professor Quains published work 'The surgical anatomy of the human body'. These photographs provide a record of the important contributions of staff in the medical field and document the history and development of medical and health teaching. Access to, and display of, parts of the collection is restricted by the Anatomy Act (1984) as amended by the Human Tissue (Scotland) Act 2006.
