The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Emory University today announced a new web site devoted to documenting and preserving public health history.  The emphasis will be on oral histories, unpublished documents, photographs and artifacts.  The site is http://globalhealthchronicles.org.

The initial chronicle is devoted to the eradication of smallpox.  There are 50 oral histories and 30 presentations at seminars held in conjunction with two reunions of staff who worked in the field during the eradication program.  Admittedly it emphasizes the role of CDC and the United States and does not reflect the hundreds of thousands of health workers who were the backbone of the effort.  The project is not static and will add materials as it becomes available. 
Those who have materials they would like to make available please contact Esta dirección electrónica esta protegida contra spam bots. Necesita activar JavaScript para visualizarla .  If you have an opportunity to record your experiences we will digitize them for addition.  If your have artifacts that you would like to share we will digitize them and return to you.  If you are in Atlanta we can arrange for a video oral history interview.  Trip reports and diaries are great.  Anything submitted will be credited to the submitter.

There is a short video on how to use the site at http://drop.io/smallpoxarchive.
