In the Field

Aour task is to create a project on Public Health in 19th Century Britain. You will need to use the sources available below together with your own research in the library in order to produce a good assignment.

First, you will need to click on the sixteen sources below labelled A-P and print them out - they have been designed to print cleanly in black and white and each one should fit onto an A4 sheet of paper. For detailed printing instructions, please click here.

After you have printed out the above sources, take the following steps:

  1. Draw up a list of important questions about Public Health which you think will need to be answered in the project. You will need to restrict yourself to no more than six questions.
  2. Which of the above sources will help you answer each of the questions? Try to find at least two sources to help answer each question you set.
  3. Use extra information from the library, Internet or Encarta to help answer the questions you have set yourself.
