On Friday 18th September 2015 Northumberland Archives attended the British Association for Biological Anthropology and Osteoarchaeology (BABAO) conference hosted by the University of Sheffield. Here we presented a poster presentation about Stannington Sanatorium with specific emphasis on the cases of tuberculosis of the Bones and Joints. This was to further promote the fantastic resource that has recently been launched by Northumberland Archives.
It was fantastic to see the number of people interested and to hear the positive comments regarding the outcomes of the project, not least of all its accessibility through our online catalogue. It was also a great opportunity to listen to some fantastic presentations and view other posters, all from a similar field. We hope our fellow attendees enjoyed the rest of the conference, it was lovely chatting with you all and as promised here is a copy of our poster for those who wish to take a closer look or for those who didn’t have a chance to attend this year’s BABAO conference.
