Alex Peck is a collector in Charleston, USA, fascinated by the medical history of the American Civil War.

Be warned that the homepage is very long, and you won't discover everything unless you scroll right down to the bottom of the screen.

SPECIAL FEATURES

Archives is a well-illustrated guide to items in the Peck collection. Below the heading Actively Buying Medical Antiques is a long list of all the items Mr Peck is interested in acquiring. Below this is the section Medical Antiques Introduction Series which is still under development - only those items that are underlined are 'live' links.

Collecting Alerts is a most interesting feature, illustrating a large number of fake items, several of which look worryingly authentic to the untrained eye. Finally, the website also features reference books and a commercial area.

This website is larger and more interesting than perhaps it at first appears, with only the American emphasis depriving it of a five-star score. Needless to say, a few items are not for the squeamish.
