The first recorded evidence of the Library at The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh was in 1696, when archived Minutes recorded that “books and other certain rarities” were to be provided in the new Hall of the Incorporation of Barbers and Chirurgeons, then being built in High School Yards.
Today, our Library and Archive team care for this collection of thousands of surgical books, serials and historical documents, while answering enquiries on all aspects of the College’s unique role in the history of medicine and surgery.
We will be exhibiting many of our rare medical and surgical books and manuscripts, as well as non-medical texts such as a 1460 “Book of Hours”, and a superb copy of “The Nuremberg Chronicle” from 1493.
