Lambo Collection on the History of Medicine

The Lambo Collection on the History of Medicine consists of antiquarian books from the private library of Dr. Thomas Adeoye Lambo, MD., PhD., D.Sc. (1923-2004).  Dr. Lambo was a Nigerian scholar and psychiatrist, who served as Deputy Director General of the World Health Organization. He was the visiting Hannah Professor of History of Medical and Related Sciences at Queen's University in the late 1970s and delivered the 1977 Hannah Lecture on the "Historical Aspects of International Health."  Books from Dr. Lambo’s private library came to Queen’s through his association with Dr. J.A.
