Forthcoming talk at the National Library of Scotland (www.nls.uk):
Painful Tales from the Raj: Disease and Death in British India
Wednesday 10 April, 6pm
What dangers to health did the British face in India? What treatments were available in the 19th century?
In this talk Francine Millard, Digitisation Manager for the Medical History of British India Project, will use fascinating medical reports to explore the more gruesome aspect of the British Indian experience.
The event is free and will take place in the George IV Bridge building in Edinburgh, EH1 1EW.
(With thanks to the NLS)

Hi Chris,
ReplyDeleteHow can we from across the seas tap in to this talk, Painful Tales from the Raj: Disease and Death in British India ?
No idea, sorry - you could contact them and ask if it is being recorded in any way?
