Among the scientific and heritage collections held by Sorbonne University, the manuscripts in the medical collections have been digitised for the first time this year, with five works from the Musée Dupuytren now available online.

Founded in 1835 thanks to a legacy from Guillaume Dupuytren (1777-1835), who built up a pathological anatomy collection that was later expanded to include other medical collections, the Musée Dupuytren closed its doors in 2016.

The manuscripts available online include Alfred Vulpian’s pathological anatomy lectures, written by Louis Landouzy’s own hand, as well as a clinical observation notebooks and a memoir, covering the period from 1867 to 1918.
