Staff and students are invited to have a closer look at the wonderful historical collections relating to the bronze gilded disease vectors displayed on the outside of the building. Today (27th June) between 12pm and 2pm on the ground floor of the South Courtyard, the Library & Archives Service is holding a 'Gems from the Collections ' session where staff will be available to show you some of the rare and unique documents, artefacts and books that we hold relating to diseases carried and transmitted by the louse, rat, mosquito, bedbug, flea, snake, tick and tsetse fly.
There is no need to make an appointment, just drop by and see us outside the Manson Lecture Theatre and find out more about the School's historical collections.
All eight episodes of the Mustard Club radio series based on the School's gilded vectors are now available as podcasts at: http://www.lshtm.ac.uk/newsevents/multimedia/podcasts/2012/the_gilded_vectors_of_disease.html.
