Online Archive of American Folk Medicine

The Archive of American Folk Medicine is the result of more than 50 years of work by UCLA-associated folklorists who “documented beliefs and practices relating to folk medicine and alternative healthcare. In order to make the data more readily available to the worldwide community of researchers and medical practitioners, the Online Archive of American Folk Medicine was established in 1996 under the direction of Dr. Michael Owen Jones, a professor of folklore and history at UCLA.” The Archive draws from over 3,200 published works, and is intended to serve folklorists, sociologists, and historians. The website provides basic and advanced search options; and records include brief entries for Citation, Condition, Belief, Method of Treatment, and more. Users should be aware that the Archive website has not been updated in several years but it remains a valuable resource for researchers and others interested in folk medicine. This has been added to Healthcare Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog. This will be added to Healthcare Rersources 2005 Internet MiniGuide.
