Custodial History
Charles Perry Fisher of the Library of the College of Physicians
of Philadelphia received the Abbe Collection of Louis Pasteur
Memorabilia from Robert Abbe of Bar Harbor,Maine, on 28 July
1923. Although Abbe intended that William W. Keen
formally present the collection to the College for inclusion
with other Pasteur material in the Abbe Cabinet"at a meeting
during the winter", this was never done. The collection was
isolated during a survey of the Historical Collections and processed
and catalogued in 1990.
