Created for the purpose of a stress relief activity for students during exam periods, or any stressful time, the Ol' Medical Colouring Book was designed by HIST212 student, Carolyn Kane, during the Fall 2022 term under the supervision of the Curator of Rare Books and Special Collections, Dr. Brendan Edwards, and Health Sciences Librarian, Angelique Roy.

The colouring book showcases images from antiquarian anatomy and botany texts within the Queen's University Library’s Special Collections. Selected works include Andrea Vesalius’ De humani corporis fabrica libri septem (1555), Browne & Scarburgh’sMyographia nova sive musculorum omnium(1687), and Blackwell’s Herbarium Blackwellianum (1765) among others.
