Unlocking the Medicine Chest: a new gateway to medical collections available at www.dundee.ac.uk/archives. The University of Dundee Archive Services is pleased to announce the launch of its new online resource increasing access to its medical archives. Using a grant from the Wellcome Trust's Research Resources in Medical History Scheme, sixty-five fully searchable item-level catalogues are now available online along with 2,500 digitised images from the collections. The collections cover subjects such as hospitals, asylums, medical missionaries, tropical medicine, pathology, infectious diseases and medical professionals and are of interest to a wide range of researchers from family historians to academics. The archives have been catalogued and made available online using CALM software. In addition to details of the collections and images, the website contains sections on the history of medicine in the Tayside area and useful links to other sites. The site is available through the website of Dundee University Archives at www.dundee.ac.uk/archives.
