Dan Smail Awarded Dean’s Competitive Fund For Promising Scholarship, For His Project, "Global Pharmacopeias To 1850"

Dan Smail has been awarded the Dean’s Competitive Fund For Promising Scholarship for his current project: Global Pharmacopeias to 1800.

"Global Pharmacopeias to 1850” seeks to develop a collection of references to drugs and other medical preparations in a form that is accessible to medical researchers, biochemists, and medical historians. The collection will consist of apothecaries’ inventories and similar lists of medicaments from Europe, European imperial dominions, and other world historical regions. The seed funding provided by the DCFPS will make it possible to collect and publish a sample of texts that will develop a proof-of-concept and allow the project leaders to apply for external funding.
