Chasing microbes
Documents on the health situation in Barcelona in the middle of the 19th century. Reports, circulars, letters and bans relating to the evolution of two infectious diseases (malaria and cholera) and their epidemiological treatment. The aim is to help students understand the constant changes in history and how history is constructed from primary sources.
