Moving Image and Sound Collection profiled

We have blogged throughout this year about Wellcome Film, our project to digitise over 450 titles from our Moving Image and Sound Collection (MISC). However, an article in the latest edition of Wellcome History, offers a wider profile of MISC.

As the article notes, MISC illustrates the growth of film as a communication tool in the medical sciences and furthermore, is "an essential starting-point for any researcher, educator, student or browser interested in witnessing the evolution of medicine and health over the last 100 years".

The article is on page 20 of the Winter 2009 edition of Wellcome History, which is freely available from the Wellcome Trust's website.
