This 1911 report, "Report on Shellfish Other Than Oysters in Relation to Disease," details an investigation by the Great Britain Local Government Board into the potential health risks associated with consuming shellfish. The document examines the connection between shellfish consumption and the spread of disease, offering insights into the sanitary conditions of shellfish harvesting and distribution at the time. It is a valuable resource for those studying the history of public health, food safety regulations, and the scientific understanding of marine biology and disease transmission in the early 20th century. This report provides a detailed snapshot of the concerns and approaches to ensuring public health related to seafood consumption during a period of significant industrial and social change.
