In 2009 the collection was transferred to the care of the Department of Special Collections at the General Library, University of California, Davis, where the collection would have better environment housing and be part of the larger Special Collections rare book collection. The emphasis was (and continues to be) the acquisition of historical materials which, because of the format (portfolios and fragile material), are subject to damage or loss with unsupervised use. The collection includes works considered to be illustrative of the history and trends of both medicine and veterinary medicine, especially the area of equine medicine. Older veterinary medical texts cover the period from the early 1600s through the late 1800s. The veterinary collection, comprised chiefly of British and American imprints, also includes a few classic French and English periodicals. The collection is represented in teh OCLC database. SERVICES: Reference and interlibrary loan; photocopying and reprography available selectively for a fee.

Several classic journals in medicine and veterinary medicine date from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The collection includes basic works important in the history of medicine, largely in reprint, including the publications of the Sydenham Society and the New Sydenham Society. Special treasures include a 1568 edition of Vesalius' De Humani Corporis Fabrica... (Venetiis) and a partial set of Medicina Rara reprints of fine medical books and manuscripts.
