Ã山ǿ¼é

In addition to the Ã山ǿ¼é museums, there are other collections and exhibits of a specialized nature curated by Ã山ǿ¼é's Heritage Advisory Committee.

Ã山ǿ¼é began accumulating cultural property by virtue of acquisition or donation even before the university itself was established. At the Montreal Medical Institute, which became Ã山ǿ¼é’s Faculty of Medicine, specimens were collected and used as teaching tools as early as 1822. Articles published about early collections gained international recognition for faculty members such as Andrew Fernando Holmes and Sir William Dawson. Their collections and others had a major influence on building Ã山ǿ¼é’s reputation as a learned institution.
