The collection holds some 700 items, relating to all aspects of medical history, including Fleming’s Nobel Prize for Medicine, 1945, for the discovery of penicillin. Among modern highlights are prototype apparatus used by John Mallard at Aberdeen when developing the first clinically useful MRI scanner, and early devices for CT scanning and obstetric ultrasound. Older material includes items relating to Scottish folk medicine.
