Wellcome Library
Explore the rich and fascinating story of medicine...
Through its collections and services, the Wellcome Library provides insight and information to anyone seeking to understand medicine and its role in society, past and present. More than 30 000 readers visited us last year, including historians, academics, students, health professionals and consumers, journalists, artists and members of the general public. The Library has over 750 000 books and journals, an extensive range of manuscripts, archives and films, and more than 250 000 pictures.
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.
