  About this Event:  

 

The late 19th and early 20th centuries were decades of pivotal change on so many fronts; the American Civil War, the death of Prince Albert, World War One, and the Spanish Flu Pandemic all had massive influence.

 

Join us for a virtual Zoom lecture discussing the historical and cultural events that changed the way we handle the dead and social attitudes around our deceased bodies in the United States.  

 

 

Please note: While we are not charging admission for this virtual event, we do ask that you consider making a donation to The College of Physicians of Philadelphia. Gifts of any amount help preserve our 230+ years of medical history. We greatly appreciate anything you are able to give!
