Dorland's is the brand name of a family of medical reference works (including dictionaries, spellers and word books, and spell-check software) in various media spanning printed books, CD-ROMs, and online content.
With the death of the editor William Alexander Newman Dorland, AM, MD in 1956, the dictionaries were retitled to incorporate his name, which was how they had generally come to be known.
In addition to the Saunders titles in English, there have also been numerous translated co-editions around the world.
Listed below are the latest translated co-editions of the flagship product Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary, together with the languages for the translations and the names of the publishers: Dorland's was published for over a century by the W.B.
Saunders Company, which was an independent medical publisher during most of that time.
