Project summary

Pulmonary tuberculosis, also known as consumption or TB, played an important role in the social and cultural life in the 19th and 20th centuries, yet the progress of the fight against the disease is not as well known or understood as it could be. This project was to catalogue, preserve and make available records relating to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of TB to encourage their use by researchers, and to increase awareness and understanding of TB’s impact through digital information and illustrations.
