Identification, Institutionalization, and Landscapes of Reuse at Tuberculosis Sanatorium Sites
The Historical Archaeology Sanatorium Project focuses on tuberculosis sanatoria in California during the early twentieth century. This project investigates issues related to disability, stigma, health, identity, and archaeologies of institutions in order to understand social aspects of health and disease. The Weimar Joint Counties Sanatorium was originally a government operated tuberculosis hospital for patients who were unable to pay for treatment elsewhere.
