The anaesthesia library
The anaesthesia library contains rare books, complete sets of Anaesthesia and the British Journal of Anaesthesia, historic pamphlets, technical literature and audio-visual material.
The library developed from the collections of Dr K Bryn Thomas, A Charles King and Dr J Alfred Lee. It has expanded over the years through purchases and donations. The books and pamphlets in the library contain information on a range of subjects relating to the work of anaesthetists.
 |
The library does not include modern journals and pamphlets but concentrates on the history of anaesthesia, pain relief and resuscitation. |
Literature in the library can help to date new museum acquisitions and technical literature can be used to explain museum exhibitions.
The library also holds oral history recordings. Further information »
