The online book shop sells publications relating to the history of RCPI, including Widdess’ History of the College. Written by John Widdess, historian, librarian and biologist, and published in 1963, this volume remains the definitive history of the College from its foundation to the mid-twentieth century.

There are also a small number of publications relating to the history of medicine in Ireland more generally. These include a biography of Robert Graves (1796-1853) a leading figure in the golden age of Irish medicine, who revolutionised clinical teaching. The volume also includes the text of four of Graves’ lectures.  Also on sale is Dr Davis Coakley’s Irish Masters of Medicine which celebrates the lives of 42 Irish Medical men, from the seventeenth to the twentieth centuries, who have left their mark on international medicine.
