Born #OnThisDay 1785, John James Audubon, artist and naturalist. We're very lucky to have a copy of his celebrated work, Birds of America, in our collection #AudubonDay 🦅
Some sage #ArchiveAdvice for residents of the nurses’ home in the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, mid twentieth century… #Archive30
Ladies over 35 rejoice! The VeeDee Massager is here to fix that double chin! Here's all the advice you need on how to use the VeeDee to banish double chins. If you're not a lady over 35 you can also make good use of the VeeDee - it cures everything! #ArchiveAdvice #Archive30
Today for #Archive30 we're looking at #BusinnessArchives Here's the yearly abstracts of accounts (1864-1936) for surgeons John Mathie and son John Wilson Mathie, of Monteith Row Glasgow. The book includes shop and staffing expenses.
A glass and brass syringe in a velvet lined case. This syringe was owned by Alexander Wood who is credited with the invention of the hypodermic needle.
Did you know Nobel Prize laureate Ronald Ross was the first person to link mosquitos and malaria transmission? "The work, was most exhausting, and so blinding that I could scarcely see afterwards," he said. This is a page from his notebook.
In the 1960s a young scientist named Tu Youyou was asked to head a research group searching for antimalarials among traditional Chinese medicines. She discovered artemisinin which has since treated millions. #WorldMalariaDay
We're getting sporty for today's #Archive30! Love this photo (c.1885) of @rcpsglasgow president, John Freeland Fergus. Fergus was a member of the Scottish International Penny Farthing Cycling team. Definitely a sport we'd like to see make a bit of a comeback! #SportArchives
Today’s #Archive30 is #SportsArchives Former pupil Jeremiah Noah Morris, seen here in our museum, was known as ‘The man who invented exercise’. He established the importance of physical activity in preventing cardiovascular disease and was honoured with an Olympic gold medal 🥇
"I could a tale unfold..." That #Shakespeare gets everywhere! This beautiful sketch of a section of the human scalp is accompanied by a quote from Hamlet! The specimen was prepared by Dr Anglin Whitelocke (1861-1927), surgeon at Glasgow Royal Infirmary. #ShakespeareDay
It's #SomethingScary in today's #Archive30 This remedy for teething pain from our 18th century herbal notebook will give your child nightmares. Rub their gums with hare or hen brains twice a day. Lovely! 😱
This item from @GwentArchives shows transactions of Tredegar Workmen’s Medical Aid Society, established 1890. Members paid subscriptions which allowed them access to medical aid. Aneurin Bevan took inspiration from the society when forming the NHS. #HealthArchives #Archive30
Today's #Archive30 is all about #ArchiveTravel. This is Dr George Buchanan's diary of his tour of Europe in 1850. The diary contains sketches, maps, newspaper clippings & much more. You can read it online at heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/193
Where would we be without conservators? For starters we wouldn’t have these wonderful custom-made storage boxes to keep Sir Patrick Manson’s mosquito box and Sir Ronald Ross’s set of malarial blood slides safe! #ConservationWin #Archive30
19th century woodcut of coloboma of the iris (a hole in the structure of the iris). The woodcut was produced for a book on ophthalmology by William Mackenzie, founder of Glasgow Eye Infirmary. See a 3D model of the woodcut here: heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/164 #Archive30 #ArchiveObject

I love this carving of a plague doctor outside York Minster Cathedral. This statue was added to replace figures eroded by time. It was not part of the original structure.
This image still brings chills to the spine of our staff… A bird’s nest found in some records, thankfully before they were transferred to the archives, back in the 1980s. What's the worst thing you've found in a collection before deposit? #Archive30 #SomethingScary
For #SomethingScary we’ve gone for criss-crossed letters. Sure, they saved on paper & whatnot, but they give archivists a major headache when listing them. Could the recipient of the letter read it easily?! #Archive30 #WhySoStingyWithThePaper @ARAScot

Since 2014, we've been experimenting with low energy use storage. In January 2024, we intensified our efforts - and turned the air conditioning off! In the short term, we're using dehumidifiers to moderate relative humidity in the strongrooms. #ArchiveSustainability #Archive30
