Lens of public health provides insight beyond medical matters

Gale’s Archives of the History of Public Health explores global health initiatives, the evolution of nationalized health systems in the twentieth century, and the impact of environmental health. Three series, Public Health in Modern America, 1890-1970, Global Health in the Modern Era, and Birth of the British National Health Service support scholars from various disciplines as they examine the impact of past health policies and practices on current conditions as well as on literary and artistic works, cultural and social norms, religious and political life, and economic and sociological behavior. The Archives are an invaluable resource for the growing number of scholars writing dissertations related to the history of health and/or medicine.
