I'm not against using these photographs. As a photo historian, I deeply value them. But that means understanding both the context in which they were taken and the context in which they're seen today. The original thread argued that there's nothing shameful about mental illness. I agree. But does sharing these portraits (often enlarged & enhanced) serve that purpose? what do you learn by looking at these photos? How can you protect the photographed subjects? #histmed #ethics #photography #museums

I don't know how to cross-post, so I'll do the same thread here. I saw on the bird app a museum sharing reflections on whether to display photographs of asylum patients from the #19Century (here https://twitter.com/Glenside_museum/st atus/1589211305478848513) but the reasoning didn't address the fact they're photographs! It just conflates sharing patients' histories with showing their portraits. Both things are not the same. We need to address the specific ethical issues of photographs #photography #histmed #museums #photohist

Hello! 🤗 I'm a historian of photography based in Leicester, UK, working on the history and ethics of medical photography, focusing on nineteenth century France.
My first book Picturing the Western Front examined how photographic practices shaped experiences during the First World War
I post mostly about #photohist #histmed #ethics but who knows how we're going to use this site!
