Veterinary medicine has long been recognized as one of the more
neglected areas of medical history. One of the main stumbling
blocks to research is the lack of comprehensive information
regarding the survival and availability of primary source material.
Veterinary Medicine: A Guide to Historical Sources redresses these
issues for the first time, offering researchers an unparalleled
tool with which to approach the subject. The book opens with a
brief history of veterinary medicine and the veterinary profession
from the fourteenth to the beginning of the twenty first centuries,
identifying the key dates and events that shaped their development.
There then follows a chapter on the nature and uses of the records
covered by the book, outlining the types of records found, the type
of information they contain and their likely uses by different
types of researcher. A brief user's guide then explains how to use
the book. After these preliminary sections, comes the main body of
the book, the lists of records. It is here that the various
practices and institutions covered by the book are listed, together
with the types of records they hold, the dates they cover and where
they are kept. A short biographical history is also included with
each entry where appropriate. Taken as a whole this volume will
prove to be an invaluable aid for any scholar, researching the
history of veterinary medicine in Britain.
