Dear all: I wanted to publicize this new digital resource if you haven't seen it already--it is meant to be useful to those teaching undergrads the history of medicine as well as for journalists and other writers who need easily-accessible reference material on major topics in the history of medicine. It contains more than 2000 works related to the history of medicine dated between 1494-1923 from Harvard's libraries (most of it coming from Countway), in multiple languages.
Web pages on the site of possible contemporary interest include vaccination and the 1918 flu epidemic. Note also that the site includes the entire set of the International Sanitary Conference reports (which are quite rare), and the papers of Benjamin Waterhouse and James Jackson. http://ocp.hul.harvard.edu/contagion/ Best wishes, Christine Wenc A.M., Harvard, history of science, and "Collection development specialist" for this project _______________________________________________ Sci-tech-public mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/sci-tech-public
