  • The archive and the library of the Spanish physician Pere Felip Monlau (1808-1871) are located in the Balearic Library in Palma of Majorca. This archive contains all the correspondence exchanged between Monlau, Spanish delegate in the three first International Sanitary Conferences, and the other delegates of the countries represented in the Conferences.

    The archive has letters of Guglielmo Menis (1793-18??) a delegate from Austria, François Melier (1798-1866) from France, A. Costi from Greece, José Maria Grande (18??-1858) from Portugal, Mühling from Prussia, C. O. R.

    Rosenberger (1806-1866) and Eugene Pelikan (1824-1884) from Russia, Angelo Bo (1801-1874) from Sardinia, Pietro Betti (1784-1864) from Toscana, Giuseppe Carbonaro (1800-1858) from Two Sicilies, Bartoletti from Turkey, John Sutherland (1808-1891) from the United Kingdom and Agostino Cappello (1784-1858) from the Vatican State.

    The aim of the paper is to analyze the information related to the fight against epidemics, mainly cholera, contained in these letters in order to evaluate its influence in the conclusions of the International Sanitary Conferences.
