A MAJOR NEW ON-LINE RESOURCE FOR THE HISTORY OF MEDICINE
The Wellcome Library is pleased to announce that the Medical Archives and
Manuscripts Survey (MAMS) will go on-line on April 2nd 2001.
MAMS provides a comprehensive and detailed guide to primary records for the
history of medicine and health-care held in archives and libraries in
greater London, for the period from 1600 to the mid-20th century. Survey
reports can be browsed and searched at to <http://www.wellcome.ac.uk/mams>.
The material recorded is surveyed broad in its scope. It includes papers
generated by doctors and hospitals, both state and private; local
authorities; businesses, from pharmaceuticals to quackery; and individual
patients. "Medical history" has been interpreted widely: as well as the
records of treatment and research, the survey records material on
health-related matters such as nutrition, water supply and sewage disposal,
the disposal of the dead and the health implications of housing; on
alternative and unorthodox medicine; on anthropology relating to medical
issues; and a range of related topics.
The survey of London represents stage one of the MAMS project. Coverage
will be extended nationwide in stage two.
