I am pleased to announce that archives project Killer dust has been successfully completed. This is a first step towards making the occupational and environmental health collections of the University of Strathclyde more discoverable. Killer Dust focused on collections that are particularly rich on the human and social impact of asbestos, foremost among them the extensive archive of OEDA, a charity that started out as the world’s first asbestos action group.
