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>
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>

== The Discovery and Early Development of Insulin ==
[[File:C. H. Best and F. G. Banting ca. 1924.png|350px|frameless|right]]
=== Notes ===
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]]''.
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.
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.
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.
