Les méthodes dans les archives médicales

Methods in the medical archives

Workshop


On 23th April 2014, Walferdange Campus, Luxembourg

Meeting and reflexions between PhD and post doctoral students working with medical sources that were produced in medical institutions in the 19th and 20th century (patient files, admission books, administrative or personal correspondence and documents, photos or moving images, etc). It will be an exchange about methodological approach to these sources: How are we using them (quantitative/qualitative analysis)? What kind of history do we intent to write? How are we choosing our material (criteria for exclusion and inclusion)? among other questions…
