Title A name given to the resource Visualising Medical Heritage Description An account of the resource From 2017 to 2019, the heritage team undertook a visualisation project funded by Museums Galleries Scotland known as "Visualising Medical Heritage". Through this project we created a variety of different digital heritage products, including animations, 3D digital models, and VR games. Visualising medical heritage is something we continue to do today. These visualisation products tell the stories of groundbreaking work carried out by Fellows and Members throughout history, and how their work changed the practice of medicine and surgery for the better.

Title A name given to the resource Vapo-Cresolene Spirit Lamp Box Description An account of the resource There are several examples from history of medical instruments that claimed to cure a plethora of ailments. One such instrument was the Vapo-Cresolene Spirit Lamp. To treat a variety of respiratory disorders, including asthma and bronchitis, one would light the lamp filled with kerosene and place it under the vaporiser cup. The cup would then be filled with cresolene, which would gradually be vaporised into the surrounding atmosphere. Many lamps were sold and can often be found as ornamental pieces in homes. <iframe width="640" height="480" src="https://sketchfab.com/models/590b095f7a7f4fa4a1df30f7a828baeb/embed" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; vr" mozallowfullscreen="true" webkitallowfullscreen="true"></iframe> <p style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin: 5px; color: #4a4a4a;"><a href="https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/vapo-cresolene-spirit-lamp-box-590b095f7a7f4fa4a1df30f7a828baeb?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">Vapo-Cresolene Spirit Lamp Box</a> by <a href="https://sketchfab.com/rcpsgheritage?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">RCPSG Heritage</a> on <a href="https://sketchfab.com?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">Sketchfab</a></p> Relation A related resource <a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/52" target="_blank">Vapo-Cresolene Spirit Lamp</a> <div><a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/57" target="_blank">Veedee Massager</a></div> 3D Quack Medicine Visualization https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/files/original/3b5e34dc37ccaa9847f627e57946c55d.jpg fda033434cb48f527ac947089454b516 https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/files/original/a04e447d69152f8da7f6da1adfc10654.jpg 782a9700f50a57f52cf8c3f0e22f6d29 https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/files/original/7b4968ab6e60fe2a5472263e0bb9c2e9.jpg 40b5ccb4fb00c6d65547a177db639dd2 https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/files/original/127734c9f31509cf661605e387bd21ab.jpg 27dcab1eb2b68df6425efd9ef6353d21 https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/files/original/ef72ab4daca8285c33b95a599712e7f9.jpg 652e5c0c000c2792468b17028585e33b https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/files/original/2a7110ceb501bf8a3db61735b1cdebc3.jpg 41840247c16fb7c1f3830e775fcae97e https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/files/original/bab15408a65f9fae1b3038a96e45637b.jpg 043ba8afb4dcabad5838098a39fb8266 https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/files/original/87cd6d83465f2d772c6e18d68e2f541f.jpg 721ceb0f40dc2620ec19685bcc6c0c28 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Museum and Artwork Subject The topic of the resource Museum collections Description An account of the resource Our museum collection helps tell the story of the College, of its place in the city of Glasgow, and of Scottish medical history. Our collection also tells the story of the students, Fellows and Members who have shaped the College over the centuries. We have fascinating medical instruments and equipment used by some of the most famous people associated with the College, including Joseph Lister, David Livingstone and William Macewen. These sit alongside a varied and often gruesome collection of surgical and dental instruments which help to show the progression and innovation made in surgical procedures from the 18th century onwards.

Title A name given to the resource Veedee Massager Description An account of the resource Manufactured by G.E.Garrette of London, the Massager comes in a purple velvet-lined box, with attachments (including cup and ball), polishing cloth and oil. There is a handy instruction booklet – The Veedee and How To Use It which gives detailed guidance on how the instrument can cure or relieve a wide range of conditions, from cold and headache, to digestion problems and hysteria. The booklet informs us that it can be used for “curative vibration, vibratory massage, nerve stimulation and blood circulation.” There are also chapters that claim it can be used to enhance beauty, treating baldness, double chins and wrinkles. Originally purchased for Dr R. Booth's great aunt who had multiple sclerosis and lived in Edinburgh. The massager was purchased from J.C. Pottage, photographic chemist and optician, Edinburgh.
