Parution base de données - Correspondance du médecin Sir Hans Sloane

"Sir Hans Sloane's Correspondence Online":
https://drc.usask.ca/projects/sloaneletters.

This pilot project allows researchers to search over 1400 letters addressed to the physician, scientist and collector, Sir Hans Sloane (1660-1753).  The letters cover a wide variety of subjects, from medical cases to travel. Most of the letters are in English, although several are in Latin or French.

At present, the database can be used as a finding tool for the Sloane correspondence, which is held at the British Library (Sloane MSS 4036-4069 and 4075-4078).  The collection is also available at many research libraries on microfilm.

More letter descriptions and transcriptions will be made available as they are added to the database.
