Pharmacy history online


Museum of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society information sheets
The Museum produces information sheets in 4 areas: objects in the history of pharmacy, history of the Society, guidance for museums, and Developing Treatments.

The Evolution of Pharmacy
The Museum works with the British Society for the History of Pharmacy to create and maintain these resources written specifically for pharmacy lecturers and students.  They cover themes from ‘The development of the profession’ to ‘The control of harmful substances.’

ISHP Research Tools
Site maintained by the International Society for the History of Pharmacy with searchable databases of  oral presentations and pharmacy history literature, plus links to sources of images, and to grant funding.

PerBo´s History of Pharmacy Web Pages
Pharmacists Per Boström and Bo Ohlson, both members of the Swedish Society for the History of Pharmacy, created and maintain this site.  It is particularly useful for its links to other pharmacy history websites, and its listings of pharmacy museums.

A Scandalously Short Introduction to the History of Pharmacy
Subtitled Pharmacy: A look back at the past and vision for the future, this Australian take on pharmacy history consists of 10 chapters covering the Ancient Egyptians to a look into the future.
