Surgeons' Case Books, University College London, 1836-1851
Did your ancestor end up in the unfortunate circumstance of requiring surgery in Victorian London? This collection of surgeons’ case books from University College London, covering 1836 to 1851, preserves detailed clinical records created at a formative moment in British medical history. The volumes record individual patients treated in hospital, noting names, ages, occupations, symptoms, diagnoses, operations, and outcomes.
These records provide incredibly rich details of our ancestors, including summaries of the procedure, revealing how illness, injury, and surgical treatment affected everyday lives in early Victorian London, while also illustrating the kinds of conditions brought to one of the capital’s leading teaching hospitals.
