Himetop - The History of Medicine Topographical Database is a collaborative online open access database written in English and launched on December 22, 2007.
It is a material culture project run by Italian academician and historian of medicine Luca Borghi at Università Campus Bio-Medico of Rome, Italy.
[2] Currently, the database has more than 5.000 records of all kinds of monuments, objects and places related to the history of medicine and others health-related topics.
[3] The database contains (2025) items relating to about 1,400 people, mostly physicians and nurses of historical interest, but also health officers, hospital founders and scientists from different fields.
[4][better source needed] Each country where Himetop project is developing has a dedicated Google Map to easily locate each item described in the database records.
