HISTORY: The Homeopathy Collection at the University of Michigan 
originated in the holdings of the Homeopathic Medical College, first 
established as part of the University in Ann Arbor in 1875. The 
Homeopathic Medical College existed concurrently with the allopathic 
Medical School until 1922. There was also a Homeopathic Hospital in 
existence locally from 1879 until 1891.

The collection itself contains items dating from the mid-1800’s to the 
present day. Although not being digitized at this time, of particular 
interest is the Bradford Homeopathy Collection, which is composed of 
1027 pamphlets that detail 75 years of the history and development of 
the field of homeopathic medicine. Along with the holdings of the former 
Homeopathic Library, these pamphlets constitute one of the most complete 
collections on the subject.
