Wellcome Library

Part of Wellcome Collection, the Wellcome Library provides insight and information to anyone seeking to understand medicine and its role in society, past and present. We are one of the world's major resources for the study of medical history and we also provide access to a growing collection of contemporary biomedical information resources relating to consumer health, popular science, biomedical ethics and the public understanding of science.

The Wellcome Library has embarked on a five-year transformation strategy to create a groundbreaking digital library, allowing online open access to our collections, and building our profile as a major cultural destination as well as a world-class academic research library.

Free to use, the Library is open to anyone with an interest in the subjects covered in our collections.
