Appeal For Information
The University of Glasgow's Archive Services has recently begun a project to survey, process and make available local and national sources relating to the University's achievements in Forensic Medicine and Science.
The Forensic Medicine Archives Project (FMAP) is funded through the British Library and the Wellcome Trust's Research Resources in the History of Medicine will deliver a web-based catalogue, accessible through its own dedicated portal. This will be an invaluable resource to bona fide researchers working in a variety of fields including the history of medicine, forensic pathology, clinical forensic medicine, law enforcement, and medical ethics. One of the main objectives of the Project is to contribute to a greater understanding and improve access to sources relating to the history of Forensic Medicine and Science.
The largest single accumulation of archival material to be surveyed by the Project staff, Paula Summerly, (Post-doctoral researcher) and Monica Greenan(Archivist) relates to the former Regius Professors of Forensic Medicine, John Glaister Senior (1856-1932) and John Glaister Junior (1892-1971). The archive contains their detailed case notes, correspondence, lecture notes, press cuttings and photographs.
Details of these local and related national sources will be made accessible on the web-based catalogue, along with comprehensive bibliographies and bibliographic histories for the Professors and Staff of the University's Department of Forensic Medicine and Science since its opening in 1839. We would therefore, be very grateful to hear from anyone who might have information or additional material related to the work of the Glaisters or details relating to the history of Glasgow University's Department of Forensic Medicine and Science. This information will greatly enhance the scope of the project, enabling us to provide links from the FMAP site to additional resources. Please contact:
