Other Historical Collections
In addition to the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ museums, there are other collections and exhibits of a specialized nature curated by Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Heritage Advisory Committee.
Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ began accumulating cultural property by virtue of acquisition or donation even before the university itself was established. At the Montreal Medical Institute, which became Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s Faculty of Medicine, specimens were collected and used as teaching tools as early as 1822. Articles published about early collections gained international recognition for faculty members such as Andrew Fernando Holmes and Sir William Dawson. Their collections and others had a major influence on building Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s reputation as a learned institution.
