In addition to the ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ museums, there are other collections and exhibits of a specialized nature curated by ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ's Heritage Advisory Committee.
ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ began accumulating cultural property by virtue of acquisition or donation even before the university itself was established. At the Montreal Medical Institute, which became ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ’s Faculty of Medicine, specimens were collected and used as teaching tools as early as 1822. Articles published about early collections gained international recognition for faculty members such as Andrew Fernando Holmes and Sir William Dawson. Their collections and others had a major influence on building ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ’s reputation as a learned institution.
