Global Tuberculosis Control, 1920-1970: The Mass BCG Campaign and Antibiotics on Indian Reservations and in the Developing World. (360G-Wellcome-083864_Z_07_Z)

£810

I will conduct research in the UK National Archives on the Colonial and Foreign Offices' involvement in the origins and development of TB control in, primarily, Africa; if time allows I will begin to explore archival material related to India and New Zealand. I will be looking at records concerning two research questions: how in the 1950s did the Colonial and Foreign Offices discover TB as a problem in Africa? Second, how, principally via the Medical Research Council, did work proceed to control the disease? Looking at these questions fits into a larger research agenda of mine that is principally concerned with the mass TB BCG vaccine campaign lead by the WHO and UNICEF after World War II and the development of several antibiotics from the late 1940s through the mid-1960s. The larger project will result in a book on the origins and development of the global control of TB.
