Dr. Abram Hoffer, a well-known and somewhat controversial psychiatrist, was born and raised in Saskatchewan. Over the course of his long career Dr. Hoffer collected a large library of materials relating to his interest in mental health, nutrition, and orthomolecular medicine. The donation of his personal collection consists of 1,520 books, of which he authored or co-authored 65 (including translated works and various editions). Find out more about the collection.
