Medical and culinary ephemera are relatively underutilized resources. The panel seeks to discuss the different ways ephemera can be used both as teaching tools as well as research projects. The panel will focus on objects and advertising literature to tell stories about health management, staying disease free, and gaining optimal health through some magic products. The panel intends to integrate ephemera and objects available at Museum of Health Care and the Archives at the University of Guelph.
