Rescuing medical records through the "endangered archives" programme

All kinds of documentary heritage have the equal chance of being salvaged from being loss or corrupted. Medical, hospital and patient records can be one of them as long as they bear historical, scientific and evidential values specifically if it contains methods of treatment and procedures of therapy, etc. With the Endangered Archives Programme of the British Library, there is an opportunity to preserve medical records from the past. This programme is funded by Arcadia, a granting organization with a key mission to protect endangered culture and nature.

This programme is open to all kinds of archives with the aim to contribute to the preservation of archival material that is in danger of destruction, neglect or physical deterioration world-wide.
