直到2010年代以来，历史学家才开始对英国国民医疗服务(NHS)历史的各个层面感兴趣，超越了机构、政策和政治叙事，2018年NHS成立70周年为这一领域的工作提供了额外的动力。本文认为，有必要为国民健康保险制度的历史建立一个新的解释框架，以更好地反映其多重身份和社会意义。它借鉴了全英国的工作方案，探索了创建NHS历史数字档案的过程，使用的概念和方法突出了NHS的社会和动态性质，并以承诺包容视角和行为者为基础。它考虑了在学术、卫生和遗产部门工作的挑战，以及历史学家在与志愿者和受访者一起工作时需要适应分享权力和机构的需要。它的结论是，通过这些工作方式产生的历史是丰富和有洞察力的，并有可能重塑围绕NHS历史和更远的历史实践和学术。
Only since the 2010s have historians become interested in dimensions of the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) histories beyond institutional, policy, and political narratives and the seventieth anniversary of the Service in 2018 gave additional impetus to work in this area. This paper argues for the need for a new interpretative framework for NHS histories that better reflects its multiple identities and social meanings. Drawing on a UK-wide programme of work it explores the processes of creating digital archive of NHS history using concepts and methodologies that foreground the institution’s social and dynamic nature and are underpinned by a commitment to inclusivity of perspectives and actors. It considers the challenges of working across academic, health, and heritage sectors and the need for historians to adapt to sharing power and agency when working alongside volunteers and interviewees. It concludes that the history produced through these ways of working is rich and insightful and has the potential to reshape historical practice and scholarship around NHS histories and beyond.
