      • visit-the-archive-catalogue-menuThe Archive Catalogue
        The archive catalogue provides descriptions of material held within our collections, to help researchers decide which items are most relevant to their interest, before consulting the actual documents.

        Archive catalogues are arranged hierarchically, from the general to the specific, and so a general search will return many results, which you can then narrow down to specific items.

        The cataloguing of our collections is a work in progress, and more records are added periodically.

    • ABOUT THE TEAM

    RCVS Knowledge is the charity partner of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS). Our ambition is to become a global intermediary for evidence based veterinary knowledge. We achieve this by providing access to information that is of immediate value to practising veterinary professionals and that directly contributes to evidence based clinical decision-making.

    We champion evidence based veterinary knowledge by providing a three-fold service to the profession: access to the Historical Collection, Library and Information Services and through our wider Evidence Based Veterinary Medicine Project.  These three themes are underpinned and facilitated by a grants and awards programme that both celebrates achievements, and builds new knowledge that will contribute to EBVM and other projects.

    For more information visit – http://knowledge.rcvs.org.uk

    RCVS Knowledge holds the unique archive collections belonging to the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons; these consist of thousands of unpublished manuscripts, correspondence, case notes and photographs illustrating the history of the British veterinary profession from 1756 to the present day.

    RCVS Vet History is a five year project, in which the wealth of these historically rich, but previously untapped, collections will be preserved and made more accessible to the public. The recruitment of a full-time qualified archivist from October 2015 has improved the long-term care and organisation of the material, and the project will culminate in two major public outputs:

    RCVS Vet History Archive Catalogue – An online database with descriptions of material catalogued to international archive standards, fully searchable with biographical profiles for major persons featured in the collections.

    RCVS Vet History Digital Collections – An online repository displaying high resolution digital surrogates of priority documents from both the archive collections and also the historical library collections held at RCVS. These high quality images are to be viewed through ‘Universal Player’, an unparalleled interface developed by Digirati for the Wellcome Trust with features such as deep zoom, rotation, one-click page turns, thumbnail lists and hyperlinks to catalogue records.

    The RCVS Vet History Project is supported by The Alborada Trust.

    The ALBORADA Trust was founded in 2001 and is named after the great racemare ALBORADA, twice winner of Newmarket’s Champion Stakes, Group 1, and rated World Champion 3yo filly. The charity’s aims are the funding of medical and veterinary causes, research and education – and the relief of poverty and human & animal suffering, sickness and ill-health.

    Papers of Major-General Sir Frederick Smith KCMG CB FRCVS (1857-1929)

    After graduating from RVC in 1876, Smith served as an army veterinarian in India from 1878-1885. He was Professor at the Army Veterinary School in Aldershot from 1886-1893, and then returned to regimental duty at Woolwich, in Sudan and in South Africa during the Second Anglo-Boer War. In 1903 he was appointed Principal Veterinary Officer in South Africa, and on return to Britain in 1905, PVO Eastern Command. Appointed Director General of the Army Veterinary Service in 1907, he then retired as a Major General in 1910.

    Smith was a prolific writer producing some 49 veterinary articles and books including A Manual of Veterinary Physiology, which ran to five editions, and a number of histories of the profession including his four volume work The Early History of Veterinary Literature.

    The Smith papers include notes relating to his research and publications, reprints of his published articles, handwritten notes for his autobiography, his official diary of the war in South Africa 1899-1902, photographs and notes relating to the Army Veterinary Service and letters written from 1877-1929.

    A catalogue for the whole collection can be viewed online at www.vhcatalogue.org and priority items are being digitised and added to this site frequently. To hear about significant additions of new content, please sign up to our Digital Collections update mailing.

    Watercolours by Edward Mayhew (1808-1868)

    Edward Mayhew enrolled at the London Veterinary College in 1843. He qualified as a member of the RCVS on 6 February 1845 and became a member of RCVS Council just over a year later. He was well known as the author of several veterinary works in particular his publications Illustrated Horse Doctor and Illustrated Horse Management. His collection of watercolours consists of over 400 original artworks, most of which were used to produce engravings in these books.  The collection includes images of horse anatomy, treatment, behaviour and care.

    The collection has been catalogued, and descriptions can be found online at www.vhcatalogue.org.

    Over the course of the RCVS Vet History project the following archive collections are to be catalogued and priority documents digitised:

    Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (1844-)

    Records relating to the RCVS including manuscripts about its foundation, Council and committee minutes from 1844 onwards, and papers relating to the day to day work of the College.

    Papers of Dame Olga Uvarov DBE FRCVS (1910-2001)

    Graduating from the Royal Veterinary College in 1934, Uvarov worked in practice until 1950 when she switched to work in the pharmaceutical industry, eventually becoming head of the veterinary advisory department of Glaxo from 1967-1970. Olga Uvarov was president of the Society of Women Veterinary Surgeons from 1947-1949 and of the Central Veterinary Society in 1951-1952. She became a Fellow of the RCVS in 1973 and its first woman president in 1976.

    Papers of Connie Ford MBE MRCVS (1912-1998)

    Connie Ford qualified from the Royal Veterinary College in 1933 and built up her own practice in London, specialising in marmosets. In 1943, following a stint in the Land Army, Ford joined the Veterinary Investigation Service at Sutton Bonnington where she remained for 29 years, becoming a specialist in the infertility of cattle. Connie Ford was awarded an MBE in 1970.

    Papers of the Society of Women Veterinary Surgeons (1941-1990)

    Collections of manuscript lecture notes taken by students including those of Professor Edward Coleman’s lectures at the Royal Veterinary College 1816-1826

    …and potentially other exciting discoveries along the way!

    The Veterinarian

    The Veterinarian periodical was established in 1828, and continued for 75 volumes until 1902. Launched by William Percivall, who was soon joined by William Youatt. Following Percivall’s death The Veterinarian was purchased by William J T Morton and James Beart Simonds, both on the staff of the London Veterinary College. It ceased publication in 1902 when it was absorbed into the Journal of Comparative Pathology and Therapeutics. The periodical contains a wide variety of articles discussing veterinary practice, literature reviews, case studies and correspondence about the veterinary profession.

    Farrier and Naturalist

    The Farrier and Naturalist was established in 1828 and continued for three years during which time it changed name twice: in 1829 to The Farrier and Naturalist and Horseman’s Chronicle and in 1830 to The Hippiatrist and Veterinary Journal. It is generally believed that Bracy Clark was the person behind its publication with the aim of bringing about reform of the London Veterinary College. The content is similar to that which appeared in The Veterinarian, but also contains poetry, artwork and anecdotal accounts of veterinarians.

    Bracy Clark pamphlets

    Selected pamphlets from our large collection of printed works by Bracy Clark (1771-1860) have been digitised and included on this site. Many other examples can be found elsewhere on line. Clark, the son of a Quaker, left school at 14 and was apprenticed to a surgeon for seven years. With the founding of the London Veterinary School in 1791 he changed to studying veterinary, rather than human, medicine and he enrolled at the London school some time during 1792, gaining his Diploma in July 1794. Whilst in practice Clark developed an interest in shoeing, establishing a number of forges throughout the country. After retiring in 1828, Clark settled at Taunton Street near Regents Park, devoted his energies to publishing and re-editing his own works and experimenting with shoeing. RCVS Knowledge also holds a model hoof made by Bracy Clark, of which you can see a 3D visualisation here.

    During the remainder of the RCVS Vet History project, more titles from the Historical Book Collection will be digitised and made available online, including:

    Books by Edward Snape, a London-based farrier, who did much to champion 18th century equine medicine.
