There is no doubt that archives are among the most important sources for historical studies. Biographies  included in collections  are also attractive materials  for historians. Beginning from 1963  onwards, I started  to  collect  historically important  items  throughout  my academic  life. These items  contributed to the foundation of the Veterinary Museum of the Veterinary  Faculty of Ankara University in 1974. The Museum’s  Biographical Archive contains  hundreds of biographies dating  back  to  the 19th  century. Many  researchers from different scientific disciplines have used this archive.The present  article will introduce the biography  of Ord. Prof. Dr. Fazlı Faik Yeğül (1882­1965) as  based  on a manuscript  kept  in the  biographical  archive of the Veterinary Museum in Ankara University. This manuscript was  compiled by Professor Yeğül himself in 1964, and provides  valuable information on the history of Turkish veterinary medicine, pharmacy and  chemisty, and his personal educative activities.
