About this book

Glasgow Royal Infirmary Surgical Inventory

Author: Glasgow Royal Infirmary

Year: 1817

Individual antique surgical instruments can be found in large numbers in private collections and museums around the world. However, it is very rare to come across a complete departmental grouping of surgical instruments compiled by a contemporary surgeon, with details of the contents of a major hospital’s surgical store. Three such inventories from the Glasgow Royal Infirmary have been found, including one from the RCPSG collection and two from the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde archive. The 1815 and 1817 inventories, stored in the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde archive ( GB 812 HB 14/6/1 ) are hand written on loose quarto sheets.
