Provenance |
Originally owned by Dr. William Langford Tew, son of Dr. William Pelton Tew. W. L. Tew graduated from the University of Western Ontario school of medicine in 1953. He specialized in obstetrics and gynaecology. 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 in 2004. |
