Library and Museum

Our library houses a vast collection of medical books catering for all topics and levels of study. These are accessible to all members. The library also holds surgical artefacts and anatomical specimens, as well as functioning as a quiet study area with Wi-Fi access.

​

Our historical archives include first editions of a number of celebrated books, and original works by some of the most distinguished names in medicine. A selection of volumes unique to Edinburgh are permanently held in the University Library.​

​

The Society loans a number of its paintings to the Scottish National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh, including likenesses of William Cullen, Andrew Duncan Senior and Joseph Black.​​
