Pulling the Plug?: An Oral History of Spa Practices and Experiences at the Royal Pump Rooms, Leamington Spa, in the Late Twentieth Century. (360G-Wellcome-082844_Z_07_Z)
This six-month project will investigate the experience and meanings of spa treatment in Britain in the second half of the twentieth century, a period of decline in the provision of these services by the National Health Service (NHS), but not apparently of diminishing public support. The project will focus on the Royal Pump Rooms, Leamington Spa, with research based primarily on oral history interviews with patients and health-care providers employed at the Pump Rooms. The interviews will be co mplemented by research drawing on press cuttings, local authority and health authority records, and the large collection of photographs and objects held at the Leamington Spa Art Gallery & Museum (LSAGM). The project will: Develop an oral history resource of approximately 80 hours of recorded interviews, full transcripts and summaries. This archive will be deposited at LSAGM, and offered to the Wellcome Trust Library and the National Sound Archive. Communicate findings to the academic a nd museum community via articles in a refereed history of medicine journal (e.g. Medical History) and in a museum journal (e.g. Journal of Social History Curators Group), and on the LSAGM (Medicate) and Centre for the History of Medicine (CHM) websites.
