Global Pharmacopoeias

Ongoing Research

The project “Global Pharmacopoeias” seeks to develop a collection of textual references to drugs and other medical preparations in a form that is accessible to medical researchers, biochemists, and medical historians. The collection will consist of apothecaries’ inventories and similar lists of medicaments from Europe, European imperial dominions, and other world historical regions.

Lead Collaborators: Mackenzie Cooley, Daniel Lord Smail, Gabriel Pizzorno
