The objective was to record, through oral history interviews, the experiences of current and former University of Aberdeen staff, across multiple medical disciplines. Alongside this, the project aimed to create a body of written histories to capture the formation and development of various medical specialities and departments during the 20th and 21st centuries.
SourceGifted by the project in 2023 - 2025.
DescriptionThis collection comprises written histories and oral history recordings which document the experiences of former, and current, members of staff from the University of Aberdeen's School of Medicine, Medical Science and Nutrition.
