Developed by the Wellcome Trust and now part of Intute, MedHist is a gateway to Internet resources on "the history of medicine and allied sciences, covering all aspects of the history of health and development of medical knowledge". It is possible to search by historical period as well as by categories such as Diseases, Education & research, People, Medical speciality & technique and Locality. In addition there are dozens of narrower categories all of which are plainly but very easy to use and simply presented to try and stop the user becoming overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of information available. NB No new resources have been added to MedHist since February 2010. Existing resources were checked and broken links fixed until July 2011, but this has now ceased, so the resource will become increasingly less useful and reliable.
This site is no longer active, but the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine offers a capture of the website as it appeared on 27/10/2012. This does not include access to the moving images.
