Recent policy discussions about extending the system of legal deposit to material published in formats other than print, for example film, video, and television, offer an opportunity to reflect on the role of audio-visual sources in the contemporary history of health and medicine. In the course of the twentieth century, audio-visual media have become the means of communicating ideas and information about health and medicine to a mass audience. However, health and medical historians rarely draw upon film, television, or video as historical source material. This paper encourages a greater role for these sources by outlining different ways of approaching audio-visual material as historical source, and introducing a selection of research tools and tips for accessing our audio-visual heritage.
最近关于将法定缴存制度扩展至印刷品以外格式出版的资料（如电影、视频和电视）的政策讨论，为反思视听资料在当代健康与医学史中的作用提供了契机。在二十世纪，视听媒体已成为向广大受众传播有关健康与医学的思想和信息的手段。然而，健康与医学史学家很少将电影、电视或视频用作历史资料。本文通过概述将视听资料作为历史资料的不同方法，并介绍一系列研究工具以及获取我们视听遗产的小贴士，鼓励这些资料发挥更大作用。
