Twentieth Century Veterinary Lives

The Veterinary History Society is to publish a book to celebrate the lives and work of members of the profession in the last century. Provisionally titled 20th Century Veterinary Lives the content will be a series of individual memoirs, some long and some short, which will hopefully identify individuals who made notable contributions to veterinary life, as well as society, during the 100 years.

Names will include the obvious leaders of the profession such as Sir John MacFadyean and Dr W R Wooldridge; Miss Aileen Cust as the first woman member of the RCVS and Dame Olga Uvarov as the first woman RCVS President; as well as personalities such as Mr J A Wight (James Herriot) and Mr J Boyd Dunlop (of pneumatic tyre fame) as well as many others.
