This bibliography was initially compiled in the mid -1970s by Charles Roland and Paul Potter, it was published by the Hannah Institute for the History of Medicine - Associated Medical Services in 1979. This revised and updated online edition has been produced with the encouragement of both Dr. Roland and Dr. Potter and the permission of Associated Medical Services.

The initial intention was simply to digitise the printed work but on closer examination it was clear that revisions and additions were needed. Dr. Roland had collected some of these since 1979 and events such as the closure and merger of libraries had made the location listings for the titles quite inaccurate. After considerable thought it was decided to eliminate this feature from the online edition because since 1979 the advent of online library catalogues and, in particular, the free availability of the Canadian union catalogue, AMICUS. (http://amicus.collectionscanada.ca/aaweb/aalogine.htm) makes finding Canadian locations very much easier and more accurate The index of places of publication has not been reproduced as most web-browsers allow one to search for words, such as "Montreal" or "Vancouver" and find these directly. The index of 'medical editors' has been converted to a dynamic index and the birth and death dates of editors have been expanded and moved from the text to the index.

These are the 18 artifact categories at The Bakken. Items can belong to more than one category. We have roughly 2500 artifacts. An electrostatic kit from the 18th century would be listed as a generator, a storage case, electrodes, a Leyden jar -- whatever was in the box the kit lived in. Here on the Web, we'll list things by their most noticeable attribute. You can learn a lot about a collection by studying the categories it is sorted into.

Most Darwin texts on the internet exclude essential bibliographical information such as edition, publisher, place of publication, etc. Page numbers are nowhere to be seen. These factors vastly reduce the usefulness of these texts as they cannot be easily cited. It is impossible to know if one is reading a first or sixth edition. An example are the many online 'first editions' of Darwin's Origin of Species. Often these cannot be correct as the text contains the phrase 'survival of the fittest'—famously coined by Herbert Spencer and first included in the 5th edition of 1869. Many other online copies of the Origin purport to be the first edition yet contain the 'Historical Sketch', first found in Britain in the 3rd edition of 1861.
