Description: | The University's medical collections are of very significant historic value, providing a nationally important record of the history and development of medicine from the late 19th century throughout the 20th century. The pathology collections compliment the University's other medical collections notably ethnography and anatomy and external collections such as the Aberdeen Medico - Chirurgical society (Scotland's oldest medical society, with which we have close ties) and the Grampian Police Museum and archives.
