Final Phase of Cataloguing of Thèses Médecine Estate

Area:	Library
Start:	1 February 2006
End:	15 May 2006
Description:	The third and final phase of cataloguing of the Thèses Médecine Estate, handled by Elena Della Valle and Anna Rita Passavanti, has been completed. The estate consists of a collection of the medical theses debated between 1798 and 1896 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 more than 10,000 hard-to-find documents that were mainly destined for institutional exchanges and therefore usually printed in limited editions. The entire collection is now available to scholars and consultable via the library's online catalogue using traditional search methods. From the OPAC entry page (http://biblioteca.imss.fi.it/LV2_1bin/LibriVision), clicking on Thèses Médecine accesses a list in short format ordered by date of publication.
