Archives and Manuscripts catalogue

The Wellcome Library holds a rich collection of Western manuscript and archival material in its Archives and Manuscripts collection.

Online catalogue of Archives and Manuscripts
This catalogue enables users to search the Archives and Manuscripts collection. It provides online access to the rich collection of papers of historical figures and the records of organisations involved in medical science and healthcare.

Sources guides provide introductory thematic and topographical overviews of archival and manuscript holdings. There are also guidelines on researching artefacts formerly in the Wellcome Historical Medical Museum.

There are a number of articles about specific collections.

Several surveys coordinate information on archival and manuscript material of relevance to the history of medicine and health in other repositories.

For catalogues of our Oriental manuscripts, which form part of the Asian Collections, please search the Library catalogue.

Also part of the Asian Collections, our Arabic manuscripts - the Haddād manuscript collection - have been catalogued and can be browsed online.
