RCSI Coat of Arms
At the heart of RCSI Heritage Collections is the RCSI College Archive. The College Archive safeguards the institutional memory of RCSI and its contribution to past and future developments in healthcare education and practice at local, national and international level.
The College Archive encompasses the breadth of activities undertaken by RCSI: from its establishment as the national training body for surgery in 1784 to its present day iteration as a world-leading health sciences university and research institution offering education and training at undergraduate, postgraduate, and professional level. It contains formal and official records that provide evidence of the governance and administration of RCSI at institutional and departmental level.
