• Humanities and Social Sciences Library (McLennan-Redpath) " is the major location for the University's collection in History and auxiliary subjects, e.g. biography, palaeography, international relations etc. The History collection owes its foundation as a research collection to Peter Redpath who in 1866 began donating books to McGill to form the basis of the library which he was establishing for the University. Although his concentration at first was on British history he later expanded his field of purchasing to include Continental Europe. The collection was enriched in subsequent years from other generous donations by Francis McLennan, a passionate and discriminating collector of books concerning all aspects of European culture of the 17th and 18th centuries. Chief Librarians Lomer and Pennington were personally instrumental in the building of strong collections on the two World Wars. Over the years many members of the History Department took a strong interest in the development of the collection, identifying opportunities for major purchases and donations. Within the last ten years, a succession of grants from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada to the Library for the strengthening of its research collections in history have largely been directed to the purchase of microforms of primary source materials."

• Montreal General Hospital Medical Library http://www.mcgill.ca/mghlib/
• Blackader-Lauterman Library of Art and Architecture"This includes the Canadian Architecture Collection, an archive of 50,000 drawings and 20,000 historical photographs of Canadian buildings, (enriched most recently by the Safdie Archive). The collection also has material on city development and housing in Canada."
• Law Library
• Blacker-Wood Library of Biology. "This major research collection with strong Canadian content includes the archives of the Montreal Natural History Society (1827-1927)."   (Tucked in the Blacker-Wood Library  is the Emma Shearer Wood Library of Orinthology, Emma Shearer being the daughter of  James Shearer, the wife of Casey Albert Wood, and my great great aunt!)
• Religious Studies Library "collects in the area of Reformation history, especially that concerning the British Isles,

Germany, France, and to a lesser extent, the Low Countries and Switzerland, the emphasis being on the religious,
rather than the political, social or economic aspects of history. Their holdings are supplemented by those of the Presbyterian College which are especially strong in Scottish Reformation history."
• Osler Library of the History of Medicine "a world-class collection based on the personal library of Sir William Osler,

has historically interpreted its mandate very broadly and includes a wider range of publications than might be expected. To a large extent the holdings are not yet included in McGill's on-line catalogue or in the card-catalogue in the
McLennan Reference Department."
It also holds collections from Maude Elizabeth Seymour Abbott, Edward William Archibald, Boris P. Babkin
E. H. Bensley, Henry Norman Bethune, Harvey William Cushing, William Henry Drummond, William W. Francis
Henri Amédée Lafleur, Hugh Ernest MacDermot, Archibald Edward Malloch, Thomas Archibald Malloch
Jonathan Campbell Meakins, Grace Revere Osler, Sir Thomas Roddick, Colin Russell, Casey Albert Wood
and the Worthington Family.
• Department of Rare Books and Special Collections  "is the repository of many early editions, among which are the

Redpath Tracts, a collection of published documents and some 15000 political and religious pamphlets printed in the British Isles from 1561-1900. In addition, the publications of a number of learned societies are well represented : the Maitland Society, the Spalding Club and the Surtees Society, all of which date from the mid-nineteenth century. The Department also contains a fine collection of sixteenth to nineteenth-century maps."

The Osler Library holds a fine collection of early geology books, once the personal collection of  Frank Dawson Adams
