Our collections chart the history of medicine and science. Careful custodianship over three centuries has ensured that the collections are in good condition but it is important that we make them available.
Your donations will help us to:
- Increase the resources we can deliver to schools, including our Museum in a Box loan kits
- Provide free onsite and online exhibitions
- Digitise and share online more unique archival manuscripts

We are extremely grateful to those who have responded to past appeals. Their help has enabled the College to widen access and to undertake specific projects including:
- Exhibitions in the College’s Physicians’ Gallery with accompanying online exhibitions
- The digitisation of over 10,000 (15%) of the College’s printed texts
- High-quality storage for our rare and precious items
- Innovative learning programmes, including virtual tours and workshops
- Development of Museum in a Box school loan kits
- An annual lecture series helping school students prepare for a career in medicine
- An exhibition about medicine in rural Scotland which is touring the Highlands and Islands
The College is a charity and recieves no government funding. The College's heritage workshops, exhibitions and school resources are funded entirely through donations rather than through the subscriptions of our Fellows and Members.
