September 2016 Colchester Medical Society Library
This collection comprises approximately 500 historical books placed on permanent deposit by the Society in April 2008. The books, colloquially known as the Penfold Collection, were previously housed at Essex County Hospital and at the Postgraduate Medical Centre at Colchester General Hospital. The volumes include early treatises on surgery, anatomy, illness and disease, and are likely to be of major interest to scholars of both the history and sociology of medicine. The collection has been catalogued, and individual works are searchable in the Library catalogue. In addition, the Minutes books and other manuscript volumes were deposited by the Society in August 2012. In 2014 documents relating to Colchester General Hospital were similarly acquired.
Their website gives a downloadable spreadsheet listing all the books available.

Unveiling of the plaque to Dr Bensusanbutt
Pioneer in Family Medicine and Social Care
Dr Ruth Bensusan-Butt (1877-1957) qualified in London in 1904 She worked in the UK and in Rome. She was the first woman doctor to work in in Colchester. Her Fabian and suffrugettist inclination made her focus on children’s health and family planning. She was the first woman elected to the Borough Council and was the first woman to attend the annual Oyster Feast. She strove to improve the conditions in the Work House at St Mary’s and was instrumental in establishing the Colchester Maternity Hospital. A formidable lady, President of the CMS, belatedly honoured by the Blue plaque at the Minories whence she practiced as a single handed family doctor.
