Teaching boards

The Copenhagen University Library Frederiksberg Campus has a large collection of unique teaching boards that have been used in the teaching of anatomy, physiology, microbiology, plant pathology, zoology and much more for generations at the Agricultural University - from the 19th and 20th centuries.

With the image database, the teaching boards are digitally accessible to anyone interested in this scientific communication at the university. Some have notes and dates, but not all boards do. Marks from mounting, including pushpins and various damages, testify to their frequent use over time.

Below is a link to these teaching boards categorized into some groups. 

The images often corresponded to the teaching in text books such as professor Boas's books on zoology and some of the descriptions of the boards are taken from his text books. Learn more about J.E.V. Boas on KU's website.
