There are still a few places left for our seminar on Thursday at London Metropolitan Archives. Here are the details:

 

Archives for London Seminar

Great Ormond Street: Hospital and Community, 1852 - 2017

 

Of the 51,000 people dying in London every year in the 1840s, 21,000 were under 10 years of age. Opened in 1852 with just 20 beds, Great Ormond Street Hospital was the first hospital in the UK to offer dedicated inpatient care to children. Taking youngsters from nearby slums, the hospital led the way in developing guidance for nursing sick children. 160 years on it remains an international centre of excellence in child healthcare.

 

Nick Baldwin has been the hospital archivist for 28 years and will share with us his intimate knowledge of its role in the history of London and the stories to be found in documents, photographs and artefacts from the archive.
