Collections include records of the Tayside Health Board covering Boards of Management, hospitals and asylums in Dundee, Perth and Angus; archives relating to teaching and research in medicine carried out at the University; papers of local organisations and individuals with medical connections; and archives relating to medical missionaries who practised overseas. These latter include the Torrance family who were based in Tiberias in Palestine; the collection includes around 4,000 photographic images.

The archives are a rich resource for medical history and for family and local history. A fully searchable database has been created with funding from the Wellcome Research Resources in Medical History Scheme and is available at www.dundee.ac.uk/archives, click on the Unlocking the Medicine Chest link. 2,500 images from the collections are attached to the descriptions.
