Other Historical Collections
In addition to the 91µ¼º½ÊÓƵ museums, there are other collections and exhibits of a specialized nature curated by 91µ¼º½ÊÓƵ's Heritage Advisory Committee.
91µ¼º½ÊÓƵ began accumulating cultural property by virtue of acquisition or donation even before the university itself was established. At the Montreal Medical Institute, which became 91µ¼º½ÊÓƵ’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 91µ¼º½ÊÓƵ’s reputation as a learned institution.
