University of Wisconsin–Madison School of Pharmacy / American Institute of the History of Pharmacy Pharmaceutical Trade Catalog Collection.
Housed in the Kremers Reference Files, the University of Wisconsin–Madison School of Pharmacy Pharmaceutical Trade Catalog Collection is administered by the American Institute of the History of Pharmacy. The collection consists of more than 450 pharmaceutical and pharmacy-related trade catalogs published between 1829 and the 2000s.
Support for this collection was provided in part by the University of Wisconsin–Madison Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Education with funding from the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation.
The earlier part of the collection (from 1829 through 1924) has been cataloged (by company and year). See the .pdf Register of the UW–Madison SoP/AIHP Pharmaceutical Trade Catalog Collection, 1829-1924.
