*** Museums of Health and Medicine Mailbase list ***

A new mailbase list, MUSHM-LINK, has been set up for all those 
interested in museums of health and medicine. The group exists to 
foster links between museums, academic researchers and others 
interested in the preservation and interpretation of medical 
collections. Although established to promote discussion between 
academic institutions and museums in the UK the list encourages 
international subscribers. 

To join mushm-link, send a message to mailbase@mailbase.ac.uk with the 
text

	join mushm-link firstname lastname  

Type your own personal names instead of firstname and lastname

The Mailbase computer will then send you a message asking you to 
confirm your subscription by posting back a code. This is a security 
measure.

A copy of the user introduction is attached below for information. If 
you have any questions about the list please contact the list-owners: 

Deborah Walker, Royal Veterinary College (dwalker@rvc.ac.uk)

MUSHM-link: Museums of Health and Medicine 

***Please keep this message for future reference*** 

Welcome to MUSHM-link, the mailbase list for those interested in 
museums of health and medicine. The group exists to foster links 
between museums, academic researchers and others interested in the 
preservation and interpretation of medical collections. Although 
established to promote discussion between academic institutions and 
museums in the UK the list encourages international subscribers. 

MUSHM-link has grown out the London Museums of Health and Medicine - a 
group of sixteen museums and other institutions with medical 
collections in London. They range from the Chelsea Physic Garden and 
the Freud Museum to the Wellcome Trust and the Science Museum, and 
cover all aspects of medical history from veterinary medicine and 
nursing to surgery and pharmacy. 

The list welcomes original and cross-postings relevant to medical museums,
the history of health and medicine, medical antiques and museum 
studies. We would prefer not to vet postings, and ask that users 
refrain from posting inappropriate or commercial material. We do 
however encourage postings about job opportunities in museums and 
related fields, and details of museum and other

relevant publications. Other items suitable for posting include: 
- details of exhibition openings 
- conferences and symposia announcements 
- reviews of exhibitions and publications 
- information or enquiries about museum collections 

An archive of postings will be maintained on the list web-page. 

Details of how to use the list by sending email commands are included 
below. If you prefer you can use the mailbase web-interface at:

If you have any questions about the list, or would like to know more 
about the London Museums of Health and Medicine please contact the 
list-owners:
