The British Records Association and the Wellcome Library are organising
a one day conference on the wealth of resources available in medical and
scientific archives to build up pictures of individual lives. The
lectures will examine manuscripts and personal papers, films and
photographs, forensic evidence and physical remains, covering a time
frame from the 15th century to the present day. Speakers include
Georgina Ferry (science writer), Julianne Simpson and Helen Wakely
(Wellcome Library), Dr Simon Chaplin (Royal College of Surgeons), Dr Tim
Boon (Science Museum), Dr Paul Carter and Natalie Whistance (the
National Archives) and Professor Allan Jamieson (Forensic Institute).
The Maurice Bond Memorial Lecture, given by Dr Richard Horton, Editor,
the Lancet, will take place at the end of the day followed by a
reception in the Wellcome Library which will include the launch of
Research Uses of Health Archives produced by the Health Archives and
Records Group.
We hope that you will be able to join us for what promises to be a full
and informative day.
