Updated: Searchable Digital Archive: FDA Food and Drug Notices of Judgment 1908-1934

From an Announcement (via H-Net):

This is the second release of additional court case summaries published as the Food and Drugs Act Notices of Judgment (NJs).

These NJs cover the first case published in 1908 through February 1934 (20,629 cases). These cases include both adulterated and misbranded foods and drugs. We will periodically add more NJs to complete this Combined Foods and Drugs category which existed through 1943. The FDA Notices of Judgment online collection already holds cases for the Drugs and Devices category, dated 1940-1963 and for Cosmetics, dated 1940-1964.

This collection is a digital archive of the notices judgment for products seized under authority of the 1906 Pure Food and Drug Act and
the 1938 Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The NJs are resources in themselves, but also lead users to the over 2,000 linear foot
collection of the evidence files used to prosecute each case. These files include materials such as correspondence, lab results,
photographs, and product samples and labeling. This collection offers insight into U.S. legal and governmental history, as well as the
evolution of clinical trial science and the social impact of medicine on health. The legal history of some of our best-known consumer items of today, such as Coca Cola, and companies like Merck Pharmaceuticals, can be traced in the collection.

Users can perform full-text searching and browse the archive by Case Title, Defendant Name, Adjudicating Court Name, Geographic Seizure Location, and Case Publication Date.

Click to view the article Quilting big data threads
Thursday, 24th May 2012

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.


Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
