The University of Tokyo has 30 libraries and reading rooms, including the Pharmaceutical Sciences Library. Each library and reading room has a large number of collections, and the Pharmaceutical Sciences Library also has a collection named the History of Pharmacy Library.
The History of Pharmacy Library was established at the Pharmaceutical Sciences Library at the request of the Japanese Society for History of Pharmacy in March 1998 and was donated by the Japanese Society for History of Pharmacy to the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, The University of Tokyo in April 1999.
Initially, the use guide was enacted and the collection list was made public; however, it then remained unorganized for more than 16 years.
At the end of 2015, the collection was finally reorganized in cooperation with the Pharmaceutical Sciences Library and the Japanese Society for History of Pharmacy and became available for research use again.
In this paper, the history of the establishment, process of rebuilding, composition of the collection, and future issues to help many researchers make effective use of the History of Pharmacy Library are described.
