- Title
The Records of Stannington Children's Sanatorium: Charting Half a Century of Tuberculosis Care.
- Authors
Rushton, Karen
- Abstract
This article explores the historic records of Stannington Children's Tuberculosis Sanatorium focusing largely on the 5,041 patient records and 14,660 radiographs that make up the bulk of the collection and span from the 1930s to the 1960s. By taking a handful of illustrations from within the collection, it aims to demonstrate the various avenues of research available as well as the unique nature of the collection owing to its focus on children, with the comprehensive nature of its records making it invaluable. The sanatorium's records are made particularly pertinent by the fact that they span the pre- to the post-antibiotic era charting changes in treatment as well as offering details on a range of other issues such as social background and stigma.
