Second Phase of Cataloguing of Thèses Médecine Estate Completed

Area:	Library
Start:	1 October 2005
End:	31 January 2006
Description:	The second phase of cataloguing of the Thèses Médecine Estate, handled by Maria Chiara Flori and Elena Della Valle, has been completed. The estate consists of a collection of the medical theses debated between 1798 and 1860 at the School of Medicine of the University of Paris. Acquired in March 2002 by the library of the Institute and Museum of the History of Science, it is an organized collection of approximately 10,000 hard-to-find documents that were mainly destined for institutional exchanges and therefore usually printed in limited editions. The first two sections (ca. 6,800 records, dating back to the years 1798-1839) are now available to scholars and consultable via the library's online catalogue using traditional search methods. The entry page to the catalogue (http://biblioteca.imss.fi.it/LV2_1bin/LibriVision), clicking on Thèses Médecine, accesses a list in short format ordered by date of publication.
