It contains 650 manuscripts and some 10,000 printed books,〔(Hunterian Collection ) at the University of Glasgow〕 30,000 coins and 15,000 anatomical and natural history specimens. The collection was originally assembled by the anatomist William Hunter.
== History ==
The collection was assembled by the anatomist and physician, William Hunter (1718–83), who was an avid collector of coins, medals, paintings, shells, minerals, books and manuscripts.〔 Considerable purchases were made in Paris from monastic houses and private libraries, such as those of César de Missy and Jean-Baptiste Colbert.〔R. Hingston Fox (''William Hunter, anatomist, physician, obstetrician, (1718-1783)'' ) (London 1901), p. 36 〕 Other major acquisitions were made in Vienna and Italy.
The library and other collections remained in London after Hunter's death for the use of his nephew, the physician and pathologist, Matthew Baillie (1761–1823), as well as William Cumberland Cruikshank (1745–1800). It moved to the University of Glasgow in 1807.〔 R. Hingston Fox (''William Hunter, anatomist, physician, obstetrician, (1718-1783)'' ) (London 1901), p. 39 〕 The coins were stored for six years in the Bank of Scotland.
