DESCRIPTION OF COLLECTION: Dr. John Adams, Professor Emeritus of the University of Saskatchewan College of Medicine, Canada, worked extensively with Media Solutions (University of Utah) to digitize and transfer to Slice of Life VII over 1600 images taken from the William Boyd Slide Collection of Diseased Human Organs. These stunning, one-of-a-kind, hand-tinted photographs are oganized by twelve systems and are described by patient histories, specimen descriptions, autopsy findings, and cross-references to the original Boyd Museum Collection acquisition numbers and their corresponding Kodak Photo CD discs.

TRIBUTE: It is with regret that we note the passing of Dr. Adams in May of 1996 just prior to the release of the Slice of Life VII videodisc. It was his passion to revive the Boyd Collection for the benefit of future educators and students. We are delighted to have worked with him and are proud to include these educational materials in the Slice of Life for the medical community to share. Dr. John Harling (curator of the William Boyd Collection in the Health Sciences Museum, Okanagan University College, Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada) had these words to say:
