  • And Public Health
    Medicine, the Market and the Mass Media It is sixty years since the end of the Second World War, but historians have only just begun to explore thoroughly the postwar history of health and its interwar antecedents. Most research and literature has focused on health services and the arrival of the NHS; where public health is concerned many historical surveys ignore the recent past and base their investigations on the nineteenth-century public health legacy. This collection opens up the postwar history of public health to sustained research- based, historical scrutiny. Medicine, the Market and the Mass Media examines the development of a new view of ‘the health of the public’ and the influences that shaped it in the postwar years. The book looks at the dual legacy of social medicine through health services and health promotion, and analyses the role of the mass media along with the connections between public health and industry. These essays take a broad perspective examining developments in Western Europe, and the relationships between Europe and the USA. Virginia Berridge is Professor of History and head of the Centre for History in Public Health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, University of London. She has published books and articles on health and society in the twentieth century. Kelly Loughlin is a lecturer in History at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the main focus of her research is the history of health and medical communications in the UK.

  • Computer Oral History Collection, 1969-1973, 1977
    Computer Oral History Collection, 1969-1973, 1977 Interviewee: Irving Korn Interviewer: Robina Mapstone Date: May 11, 1973 Repository: Archives Center, National Museum of American History MAPSTONE: Let's go back and put a career trace on you. How did you get to go to Aberdeen and what were you doing there? KORN: That is an interesting story by itself. I was drafted into the Army. After completing basic training I was assigned to Aberdeen in another laboratory--I guess it was the Ballistic Research Lab which had a computer lab in it. But I was assigned to, essentially, Atomic Bomb instrumentation. After three months I was transferred because my security had not come through. I had to get out of the web. I went to the Automotive Lab at Aberdeen where I did automotive instrumentation and chalk testing and so on, for about nine months and when my security finally came in, I went back to the Ballistic Research Lab and said I would like to come back there and I would like to get into the Computer Lab. So that is how I got into computers. And the first assignment I had was integrating the first, what I believe to be the first, high speed printer ever built. Which was made by Shepard which was delivered for purposes of integration with the EDVAC. You probably have data on the EDVAC. It is also like maybe the number three computer or something like that. MAPSTONE: That's right, I do. KORN: That was, I think, the sister machine of the one at the Bureau of Standards, with the mercury memory and the transformer logic.
