==Intro==

UTL's Wikipedia project is currently focused on improving content on the history of diabetes and the discovery and early development of insulin. Other collections have so far been used for minor edits, and will be used more extensively in the coming months. <BR> <BR>

===Goals===

We invite everyone to benefit from our digital collections and use our materials to improve Wikipedia. [[Wikipedia:GLAM/University_of_Toronto_Libraries|See here]] for a list of our digital collections. Specific collections have also been flagged for volunteer help in [[Wikipedia:GLAM/University_of_Toronto_Libraries/Volunteer|How to Help]]. <BR> <BR>

{{Shortcut|WP:NPOV|WP:RS}}

For an overview of UTL's projects on [[Wikidata]], please visit [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_University_of_Toronto_Libraries Wikidata:WikiProject_University_of_Toronto_Libraries].

* Update and add new articles on histories supported by UTL collections

* Contribute up-to-date, balanced, and authoritative sources to Wikipedia

===Approach===

{{Shortcut|WP:PRIMARY|WP:SECONDARY}}

* Where chunks of notable information are missing, create new sections or articles

* Where existing narrative is comprehensive and up-to-date, add references to [[WP:VERIFY|verify content]] and connect research

** Add [[WP:SECONDARY|secondary sources]] wherever interpretation is required

** Add [[WP:PRIMARY|primary sources]] where self-evident

*** Example: 1923 Nobel Prize medal inscribed to [[Frederick Banting]] → Banting was recipient in 1923

* Rearrange media or links to prioritise article relevance, but with sensitivity to the overall focus of the page

===Key===

* {{New entry}} New page or section

* {{Increase}} Significantly expanded

==General==

"[[User:Ludicpress|Ludicpress]] ([[User talk:Ludicpress|talk]])"

These contributions are sorted by function.

===Templates===

==Archives==

This collection draws together relevant material from the initial period of the discovery and development of [[insulin]], 1920-1925 at the [[University of Toronto]]. In 1923, the [[Nobel Prize in Medicine]] awarded to [[Frederick Banting]] and [[J. J. R. Macleod]] formally recognized the achievement of the Toronto team in discovering and developing insulin.<ref>{{cite web |title=Nobel Prize medal inscribed to F. G. Banting {{!}} The Discovery and Early Development of Insulin |url=https://insulin.library.utoronto.ca/islandora/object/insulin%3AA10012 |website=University of Toronto Libraries}}</ref> In 2013, this collection was inscribed into [[UNESCO]]’s [[Memory of the World Register]].<ref>{{cite web |title=The Discovery of Insulin and its Worldwide Impact {{!}} United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization |url=http://www.unesco.org/new/en/communication-and-information/memory-of-the-world/register/full-list-of-registered-heritage/registered-heritage-page-8/the-discovery-of-insulin-and-its-worldwide-impact/ |website=UNESCO Memory of the World}}</ref>

This extensive collection contains over 7,000 items reproducing original documents ranging from laboratory notebooks and charts, correspondence, and published papers to photographs, awards, and artifacts. These were mostly digitized from material held by [[Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library]] at the [[University of Toronto]].

==Manuscript Fragments==

Text-based edits from this project seek to improve the balanced and verifiable representation of history surrounding the discovery and early development of insulin. All contributions draw on thorough familiarity with the digitized primary sources held by [[Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library]], and on the most authoritative and balanced secondary sources to date. Among these contextual sources is the twenty-fifth anniversary edition of Michael Bliss's ''Discovery of Insulin'' (2007; updated the 1982 publication) and numerous complementary interventions published in the ''[[Bulletin of the History of Medicine]]''.

==Patent Medicine==

Where Wikipedia's existing narrative is adequate and accurate to date, I enrich the bibliography to help verify the content and to provide entry points to quality sources for further research. Primary sources are contributed where self-evident. For example, a 1923 Nobel Prize medal inscribed to Frederick Banting makes self-evident the fact that the Nobel Prize was awarded to him in 1923. Where contextual interpretation is required to understand the cited material, balanced secondary sources are used to support the contribution.

===View collection===

I may rearrange media or links to facilitate the Wikipedia community's research needs. Most material in UTL's insulin collection is historical in nature. On topical pages which include a mix of scientific and historical overviews, rearrangement will be sensitive to the overall focus of the page.

[https://fishercollections.library.utoronto.ca/islandora/object/patent:root Patent Medicine]

===Contributions===

Where chunks of notable information are missing, I create new sections/pages to expand coverage. For example, the [[Academy of Medicine of Toronto]] and the [[Connaught Laboratories]] played important institutional roles in relation to the development of insulin and more broadly, in Canadian medical history from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century.

[[File:Ontleding_des_menschelyken_lichaams.jpg|200px|frameless|right]]

This collection features approximately 4500 full page plates and other significant illustrations of [[Human anatomy|human anatomy]] selected from the Jason A. Hannah and Academy of Medicine collections in the history of medicine at the [[Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library]].

Drawing on materials from the Joseph Burr Tyrrell, James Tyrrell and related collections at the [[Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library]], it includes over 5,000 images from original field notebooks, correspondence, photographs, maps and published reports.

=== Notes ===

This collection has been flagged for collaboration with indigenous knowledge communities.
