These curriculum awards are meant to raise awareness of the CTP Archive and its educational value among teachers and researchers. Applications due June 15, 2022.

You Know You Want To!

Join us on Friday, April 1 (tomorrow and no joke!), for the second in our spring speaker series: Rachael Gillibrand.

Throughout the summer of 2021, Rachael was employed by the Medical Heritage Library as the Jaipreet Virdi Fellow in Disability Studies. The purpose of her fellowship was to use the Medical Heritage Library’s digital collections to produce a primary source dataset relating to the theme of ‘Disability and Technology’. In this lecture, Rachael will talk about her time with the Medical Heritage Library and will elaborate on some of her more curious findings. Expect to hear about the development of patents for artificial breasts; how vulcanite rubber drew dentists into gunfights; and why a Victorian gentleman might be found with hippopotamus in his mouth!

Thank you!
