UBC Library’s Dolman Collection is profiled in this article from UBC Medicine magazine.
“In his corner in the Rare Books and Special Collections room of the new Irving K. Barber Learning Centre on the Point Grey campus, Ralph Stanton scrolls through a list of books on a computer monitor. Names both famous—Florence Nightingale and Louis Pasteur—and forgotten go past. These tomes, some of which date as far back as the 16th century, have titles like Tractatus de peste, divisus in partes duas, quarum prior continet speculationem physicam and A Treatise on Cholera. A few are about arctic exploration. All have one thing in common—they are part of the Dr. C.E. Dolman collection.”
