Global project on the history of leprosy
The Global Project on the History of Leprosy is the initiative of the International Leprosy Association and the Wellcome Unit for the History of Medicine at the University of Oxford. The Project is developing a database of leprosy archives around the world, as a working tool for researchers who are interested in the modern history of leprosy, dating from 1847, when Danielssen and Boeck published Om Spedalskhed.
