Promoting the Ross collection in collaboration with academic colleagues

Victoria Cranna, Archivist & Records Manager, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine 

The Archives team at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine is working with academic colleagues to promote the work of the School as well as the Archives Service. Using the archives of Sir Ronald Ross, the discoverer of the mosquito transmission of malaria, archivists can provide the historical context, while scientists can give an in-depth insight into the methods used and the relevance of this material to the work they are doing today. Working together gives the audience, whether they are school children, staff, students or the general public, a greater understanding of the importance of this material.
