Thompson, Hamlet |
Provenance |
Owned by Hamlet Thompson, who registered for his Ontario license in 1906, and initially practised in Toronto. He later practised in the Thedford/Arkona area. Object found in collection and labelled as belonging to Thompson by Michelle Hamilton in 2004. In the early 1920s, the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario, Canada, began accepting medical artifacts for a historical museum. It remained an unofficial collection until it was turned into the Medical Museum and Archives at University Hospital in the 1970s. In the 1990s, many of these artifacts were spread out among various local institutions, and the remaining objects were reorganized into the Medical Artifact Collection at the University of Western Ontario, catalogued and organized by Michelle Hamilton. |
