World War I:
The Museum met the crisis of World War I by aggressively expanding its efforts to confront emerging health problems. In coordination with other private and government efforts, Museum staff initiated education campaigns against sexually-transmissible diseases in both the military and civilian populations.
The Museums also developed training materials for sanitation, dentistry, field medicine, and medical facilities. Using multi-media education, the Museum created posters, lantern slide shows, motion pictures including animation, illustrations, photographs, and three-dimensional models to train medical officers, troops, and civilians. |
