To mark @HeritageWeek, @RCSILibrary are unveiling a newly catalogued and digitised archive collection from one of Ireland’s most significant pharmacy chains, Hayes, Conyngham & Robinson. Founded in 1897, it grew to become one of the largest Irish-owned pharmacy chains in Ireland.

Dr. Kathleen Lynn and Constance Markievicz were two prolific Irish revolutionary women. Both women originally came from aristocratic backgrounds but traded this lifestyle to join the Irish Citizen's Army and the fight for an Irish republic.

It’s a pleasure to be asked to speak about Dr Kathleen Lynn tomorrow at the official dedication of our new cataract unit and opening by @CarrollJennifer . Dr Lynn was a brave medical pioneer going from being perceived as a loyal medical establishment figure to rebel socialist and activist in just one day..Easter Monday 1916. One of the first female medical graduates of @ucddublin, champion of infants health and TB vaccination.

Day 18 of #Archive30 is #ArchiveAdvice. Our physicians give out lots of advice, these two prescriptions from Sir William Wilde (1815–1876), ophthalmologist and father of poet Oscar Wilde, were issued for eye conditions and digestive issues.

Day 4 #Archive30 #ArchiveConservation is a perpetual concern for museums. This 1885 letter from T Cranfield of the Fine Art Repository describes the portraits in #RCPI as being “in very bad condition…very dirty”. Thanks to the efforts of RCPI, this is happily not the case today!

Day 3 #Archive30. John Fleetwood, a physician with many historical & literary interests, often spoke on Radio Éireann. Here are examples of his medical history broadcasts, ‘The Root of Irish Medicine’. He also contributed regularly to #RTERADIO1 Sunday Miscellany #SoundandVision
I love the first line!
Day 2 #Archive30. We’re looking at #ArchiveBeginnings of The Dublin Biological Club, Jan 1872 in TCD. Members could present papers, specimens, & cases on 'the morbid & health conditions of animal & vegetable life'. The club moved to Great Brunswick Street and finally to RCPI.

This afternoon we put the finishing touches to our new exhibition including one of the most famous item in our collection, Napoleon's toothbrush. Carefully, overseen by the man himself.

Happy New Year to all our friends and followers 🥳
With apologies to Sir William Wilde and William Stokes, but they were famous for their wild(e) parties. As well as this image of them sharing a bottle of beer, we also have this beautiful claret jug gifted by Wilde to Stokes!
178 years ago today, the first operation in Ireland in which general anaesthesia was used took place at the Richmond Hospital, Dublin. Surgeon John MacDonnell, patient Mary Kane from Drogheda, aged 18 years. The Pilot, a Dublin newspaper, reported on the event that very evening.
Well done all at the Heritage Centre!
We are delighted to announce the launch of a new part of our website, Lives of the Fellows, celebrating the first female Fellows of the College, starting with Dr Mary Hearn who was admitted 100 years ago in 1924.

Unfortunately we don’t know who the patient was, but Lombe Atthill (1827-1910) was an obstetrician & gynaecologist. As Master of the Rotunda he introduced innovations including blood transfusion in the treatment of post-partum haemorrhage and carbolic soap for handwashing!

Looking at this, you might be glad to know not all our items are medical! As well as the medical instruments, we collect items owned by doctors. This silver mounted animal horn, with an ink nib at one end & a snake head at the other, was given to Dr Atthill by a grateful patient
