Working Group 5: Heritage and Public Engagement focuses on the presentation, interpretation, and reception of European healthcare histories in public spheres, utilizing diverse cultural and pedagogical inputs. Primary sources include museum acquisition records, exhibition catalogues, and public health campaign materials that demonstrate historical methods of communication. The group analyzes architectural preservation documents for historical medical sites and records of public memory initiatives related to health crises or medical breakthroughs. Studies in public history, museum studies, and science communication provide theoretical frameworks for understanding audience engagement and historical narratives. Furthermore, educational curricula, popular media representations of medicine, and visitor feedback from heritage sites offer insights into how healthcare histories are consumed and understood by non-academic audiences. Digital humanities projects and online archival platforms are also considered as contemporary tools for broadening public access and participation. This multi-modal approach examines the construction and impact of healthcare heritage on public consciousness.
