On September 23-25, 2005, a conference will be held in Tartu, which is dedicated to the bicentennial of the Old Anatomical Theatre. The present collection is also dedicated to this jubilee. Maie Toomsalu's article describes the history of the building, and Jaan Kasmel provides an overview of teaching of anthropology at the University of Tartu throughout two centuries.
Not long ago (in 2002), the Centre for Physical Anthropology published a book by Maie Toomsalu in Estonian, which contains short biographies of 79 professors who have worked at the Old Anatomical Theatre.
