Document of the Month – July 2020

This month we came across the Freedom Press publication Ill-Health, Poverty & the State, half pamphlet, half paperback from 1946, writing on healthcare during the post war, but pre NHS period. Digitising this was a bit of an agonising decision and technically more challenging than most documents, we posted some notes about the process on on our Instagram account.
