History of Science and Medicine

The Royal Society's History of Science blog.

The Center for the History of Medicine and Public Health, which includes the Library, promotes the scholarly and public understanding of the history of medicine and public health and the history of the book. Established in 2012, the Center aims to build bridges among an interdisciplinary community of scholars, educators, clinicians, curatorial and conservation professionals, and the general public.

An Oral History of British Science, a National Life Stories project, began in November 2009 with funding from the Arcadia Trust. Its aim is to create a major archive for the study and public understanding of contemporary science in Britain through in-depth interviews with British Scientists.
