Veterinary history: new virtual issue, Social History of Medicine

Oxford University Press, working with the Society for the Social History of Medicine, has just produced a new, free, virtual issue of Social History of Medicine, entitled 'Veterinary History comes of Age.' Its release coincides with the biennial congress of the World Association for the History of Veterinary Medicine, which took place in London last week.

The issue gathers together several articles and book reviews on the theme of veterinary history, published by the journal in the last few years. It also features a new editorial by Saurabh Mishra entitled 'Veterinary history comes of age.'

The issue can be viewed at http://www.oxfordjournals.org/our_journals/sochis/veterinaryhistory.html​ . Access is free until the end of October. After that, the paywall will return but as with all Social History of Medicine virtual issues, the website will remain active.
