Abstract

In 1980, the University of Tartu Museum in Estonia received one of its largest collections: University Clinic of Internal Diseases case histories spanning from 1847 to 1962. The medical case histories give an insight into the world of medicine in an era when science started to take precedence in diagnostics and medical treatment. Due to resource management and funding, the museum was only able to properly research and categorize the papers until 1885. Now, we aim to find the financial resources and personnel to open access to these case histories for historians all over the world via digitisation.
