‘I Remember it Well’: Oral History in the History of Pharmacy

STUART ANDERSON*

*London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Keppel Street, London WC1E 7HT

SUMMARY The reminiscences and personal testimony of retired pharmaceutical chemists provide a rich and valuable source of historical material, which can be used not only in tracing the history of the practice of pharmacy, but also for illuminating the social, political and economic context in which health care has been delivered during the course of the twentieth century.

A wide range of accounts of the lives and work activities of pharmaceutical chemists now exists. Some of these are written, others have been recorded, and extracts from a number of these recordings have been published. The purpose of this paper is to describe and review the material currently available in relation to pharmacy in Great Britain.

Keywords: pharmacy; history; oral history; reminiscences
