Notes

A video produced to celebrate the cataloguing of the Medact archive (ref: SA/MED) in June 2014. The collection charts the history of Medact, an organisation of doctors and nurses who campaigned against nuclear weapons during the Cold War (1980s). The video was showcased at a symposium held to launch the catalogue on 27/06/2014. The event, ‘Beds not Bombs: exploring the archives of anti-nuclear medical campaigning and protest’, was held in collaboration with the University of Bradford Special Collections at the Wellcome Trust.
