Brittle Bone Society Archive

This morning I attended the launch of the History Bones Project where the Brittle Bone Society gives its historical archive to the care of the University of Dundee Archives Service. It was good to meet staff, trustees and service users of the Brittle Bone Society as well as representatives of the University.

I was delighted to be at this important event. it is important to that the Brittle Bone Society's records are preserved. This is the only charity based in Dundee which has a Britain-wide remit. I was pleased that the Scottish Government, through Health Minister Shona Robison MSP, were present and that they recognise the importance of preserving this important part of British social and medical history. The collaboration between the Brittle Bone Society and the University of Dundee Archives is excellent and demonstrates the excellent work which the University does and it is good to see two organisations based in the West End of the city working so closely together.

Well done to everyone involved.
