Dear All
The Archive service at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine is pleased to announce that the exhibition we have curated entitled ‘Improving Health in Wartime’ is now on display in our Keppel Street building.
Designed to commemorate the anniversary of the start of the First World War, we have created an exhibition to show how tropical medicine and public health professionals have worked to improve health in areas of conflict since the First World War.
Selected from the School’s archives and from current staff’s work, you will find out what happened when the School was bombed during the blitz, how Sir Ronald Ross survived a torpedo attack in 1917, how being a nutritionist helped staff member Dr Dean Smith survive a Japanese Internment Camp in the Second World War, why we have the war medals of Thomas Spence Dunn and how School staff have worked with people affected by the recent conflicts in the Balkans and Sudan.
There are also a series of events over the next few months to complement the exhibition including Wartime Stories, where the Archives team will talk about the material that they have discovered through their research for the exhibition. This seminar is on Tuesday 29th July at 12.45, further details including free registration at: http://www.lshtm.ac.uk/newsevents/events/2014/07/wartime-stories and further information on all the events is available at: http://www.lshtm.ac.uk/newsevents/events/2014/07/improving-health-in-wartime
Best wishes
Victoria
