Hello
In our Trust, we are just beginning work (in conjunction
with the Local Studies Library and the Company Secretary) on some work about
the history of the hospital which we will move out of in 2010. We hope to
work with the local Museum to do some oral history, and also use the
opportunity to sort out the hospital’s record keeping policies (which the
Company Secretary is already leading on).
I would be very interested to hear from any other librarians
who have been involved in hospital history activities – especially if
there are any large potholes we may be about to fall into…
Thanks
Dorothy
PS Our big PFI hospital reprovision has just been signed and
it’s all set to go. Any communal wisdom on the next part of the
process (I’ve been involved in planning for the new library for more than
4 years, but I suspect the rules of the game have just changed!) would be
appreciated…
