Happy New Year!

LHSA would like to wish everyone all the best for a happy 2011!

The LHSA team are back at work and planning for a busy and exciting year:

Laura, assistant archivist, is already dealing with some new accessions to the Archive.  Alison, assistant archivist is continuing to catalogue our HIV/AIDS related collections.  Stephen, archive assistant, is cataloguing photographs and writing a 'Spotlight On...' for our website.  Ruth, paper conservator is planning for LHSA's involvement in the 'Unsung Heroes' project (see blogpost 3rd December 2010).  Rosie, assistant archivist, is preparing a funding bid to the Wellcome Trust Resources for Research in Medical History scheme.

We will keep you posted on our progress throughout the year via this blog!
