The Cullen Project is an
AHRC-funded collaboration between the School of Critical Studies
(English Literature) at the University of Glasgow and the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh
(RCPE). We are working on the digitisation and transcription of the entirety of
Dr Cullen’s medical correspondence. Our edition will have innovative search
facilities with supportive editorial apparatus and will be of value to
academics, practitioners, students and the general public. We aim to create a
publicly accessible online scholarly edition of one of the most important
archives of eighteenth-century medical consultation letters.
