ABSTRACT
A number of monographs and studies have been written so far about the Radom State Armament Factory – Weapons Factory, which was established in 1925, but none of these works has comprehensively addressed the subject of health support for the factory’s employees. Also, no original source documentation has survived that would allow for the reconstruction of the staff composition, the location of the Center within the factory premises or the structure of injuries and illnesses. To address this gap, research was conducted in the Radom State Archives. The requested information, however, is not contained in the factory’s files. Isolated details can only be found by reviewing thematically related folders on professional medical personnel, other medical institutions or in the order books of the Director of the Radom Social Insurance Company from the World War II period. The causal nature of the work is evident from the premises outlined above. This study, which takes a closer look at the history of the Armament Factory Health Center, which should be considered a local community, contributes to a deeper understanding of one of the aspects of military health care.
