TTS Historical Library

The Transplantation Society has started a historical reference library to be housed in the International Headquarters in Montreal.

The library includes books by and about Past-Presidents and other principle figures in our field, classic treatises, important obituaries, pertinent archival papers, and a relatively large collection of relevant photographs and pictures. Anyone interested in the rich background of transplantation is welcome to avail him or herself of this material, much of which will eventually be digitalized. Below is a current list of contents. Anyone with historical data and would be interested in donating to this central repository would be very welcome to do so by sending it to our TTS HQ at:
