Bring your primary sources

Feel free to bring a primary source from any time period (it could be an image, extract from a text, record...) that you would like to share. We have limited tech set up in the room so we suggest having a copy ready on your laptop. There is no need to send anything in advance, but we'd be grateful if you could let us know if you are bringing something so we can prepare. As ever, all are welcome regardless if you have anything to share this time or not!

This reading group is run by UCL PhD students Finn Manders (Wellcome collaborative doctoral student), Katherine Wills and Ella Sheddick. For the article, historical context and map email ella.sheddick.25@ucl.ac.uk

Open to PhD students, ECRs and other interested historical researchers. For information on upcoming sessions, dates, and reading material, please join the mailing list http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/HEALTHBODYREADINGWELLCOME
