The HardiBlog

Do join us at Special Collections tomorrow for our fourth lunchtime lecture of 2014-2015: "Bodies of knowledge : the early days of anatomy in Galway" in the company of Alex Black, Anatomy, School of Medicine. This talk will cover the early days of anatomy in the university, and will illustrate the importance of anatomy to society, society to anatomy, and medical imaging to medicine. A selection of anatomy material from the Old Library Collection, as used by the very first anatomy students on campus, will be on display during the talk.

(London : Taylor and Walton, 1836)

Ach ainneoin na bhfadhbanna áirithe a bhaineann tuisle asainn ar fad, tuganntaighde shochtheangeolaíochta le fios gur buntáiste is ea an dátheangachas agus gur minic a bhíonn cumas cognaíoch níos airde ag an té a bhfuil dhá theanga ar a thoil aige. Sa cheardlann idirghníomhach seo, tabharfar aghaidh ar na príomhdheacrachtaí a bhíonn ag cuairteoirí ag an Ionad Scríbhneoireachta Acadúla. Ach, thairis sin, féachfar ar na bealaí ar féidir leas a bhaint as an gcumas dátheangach chun argóintí snoite a chur in iúl agus guth acadúil sainiúil a fhorbairt.

During the month of February in Special Collections we focus on anatomical illustration in Art of the Unseen: Anatomical Illustration in the Special Collections . From weighty ornate tomes to the textbooks utilised by the very first anatomy students on campus under the tutelage of professors Croker King, Cleland and Pye, this exhibition will look at anatomical representation from the 1600s through to the modern era. The muscles of the human body / Quain Jones, ed. (London : Printed for Taylor and Walton, 1836 ) If you would like to view the spotlight exhibition, please contact the staff of the Special Collections Reading Room in the Hardiman Research Building at specialcollections@nuigalway.ie. The spotlight exhibition can also be viewed in its entirety on the digital display wall in the Hardiman Foyer during the month of February.
