The Mackie Family History of Neuroscience Collection at the University of Calgary
The Mackie Family History of Neuroscience Collection provides a unique resource at the University of Calgary that will be available to everyone including students, faculty and the public. The collection broadens the neuroscience educational experience and digitizing the collection enables people around the world to share in the resource. It consists of over 2.400 historical books from the 16th to the 21st century and is further complemented by autographs, pamphlets, off-prints and journal articles from the history of neuroscience and medicine. The Mackie Family History of Neuroscience Collection is integrated with the Dr. Peter Cruse and the Dr. Earle P. Scarlett Collections in the History of Medicine Reading Room of the Calgary Health Sciences Library. To see a blog on the collection, please click here.
The Chicksands Military Collection (History of Military Science Sections)
50,000 antiquarian military history books and documents have been donated to the University of Calgary, Alberta, by the Ministry of Defense of the United Kingdom. Within this enormous collection, there are also many sections on military surgery, traumatology, developments of body prosthetics, the use of medical imagery and diagnostic tools and instruments within army, navy and airforce contexts. The "Chicksands Military Collection" thus offers ample research opportunities also for history of medicine projects.
