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