Improving access to the archives of Erskine Hospital Ltd, established 1916 as the Princess Louise Hospital for Limbless Sailors and Soldiers

This is a project to catalogue and preserve the records of Erskine Hospital. It opened in 1916 as the Princess Louise Hospital for Limbless Sailors and Soldiers. The catalogue will enable new research into the impact of the charity’s work with veterans through the 20th century and beyond. The archive could also enable a new analysis of the practice and impact of military medicine on British society, particularly in relation to prosthetics. The catalogue will be accessible online and the collection will be made available to researchers in the university’s search room.
