The collection comprises documents, photographs and audio-visual material. There is a small amount of official correspondence and documents relating to buildings and equipment, funding and curriculum review. Some interesting correspondence concerns regulation of dissection for medical training purposes at certain intervals over a sixty year period (from around 1905), including some letters from members of the public offering their bodies for dissection following death, offers that were rejected for legal reasons. The correspondents include some of the Department's leading figures. There is also biographical material relating to some of these figures including Richard Berry, Frederick Wood Jones, Sydney Sunderland and Leslie Ray. There is historical material relating to the anniversary of the Medical Department in 1862 and other material collected by Kenny presumably for its historical interest. Photographs include the medical and departmental buildings, historical events including the 1897 meeting of the Anatomical Society (of Great Britain) at Trinity College Dublin, Trinity College Melbourne, individual members of the department and staff group photographs throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Many of the earlier photographs dating from the 1890s are apparently modern reproductions from other sources. There are some contemporary photographic prints of a wide range of subjects, for example: the Senior Anatomy Class (1907, 1912), Medical Students in the Jubilee year (1914), delegates to the First and Second International Congress of Anatomists in Dublin (1897) and Brussels (1910), photographs of the 1960s Anatomy Building, and of a 1975 Otology class in progress. The audiovisual records comprise two Ampex Umatic master tapes documenting expeditions to Lady Julia Percy and Banks Island undertaken by Professor Wood Jones for the McCoy Society. There is a small collection of Berry's lantern slides comprising images of the 1923 building and teaching material. 640 Acquisition: [2013.0060] "RECORDS OF AND RELATING TO THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE DEPARTMENT OF ANATOMY" Other/Unknown Material Banks Island The University of Melbourne: Digitised Collections McCoy ENVELOPE(-140.533,-140.533,-75.883,-75.883) Percy ENVELOPE(-55.883,-55.883,-63.250,-63.250) |
