Students undertake assisted research of sources and test their source-critical skills. They present their results in different media formats.

The topic of medical history in rural areas is at the centre of the 2022 special exhibition of the Montafon Museums/Vorarlberg. In cooperation with the experienced team around Dr. Michael Kasper, the students will take on the role of exhibition makers and not only develop relevant medical historical content, such as a reconstruction of medical infrastructure, medical professional groups and region-specific aspects of health and illnesses in this Vorarlberg region, but can also be active in the design of the exhibition. This not only trains skills in archive and source research, but also develops basic knowledge of museology. The students also learn to write short texts for the exhibition and are invited to participate as authors in the exhibition catalogue. Due to its application-oriented focus, the exhibition project - Medical History in the Montafon will provide exciting insights into historical fields of work outside the university.

Thematic introductions, practical exercises, short presentations; group work, discussions.
