This exhibit contains 416 articles from various newspapers, the majority being located within the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, but also a few of the newspapers are from away. The articles were taken from the personal scrapbook of Dr. Ian Rusted, a founder of the Medical School at Memorial University of Newfoundland.  His extensive scrapbook traces the development, through media coverage, of the Medical School from its inception, through its construction, and initial years of operation for the period February 1967 to March 1979.

The original scrapbook also contains approximately 170 articles from the local newspaper, The Daily News, which ceased publication in 1984. At this time permission has not been obtained in order to include them in the exhibit. However, should permission be granted in the future, they will be added to this virtual exhibit. All the articles in the scrapbook are available for viewing at the Faculty of Medicine Founders’ Archive.
