Come along to a free workshop at the Library!

Our team of library and archive professionals offers a series of short practical sessions to help you to discover and get the most from various library resources.

The workshop programme runs three times a year. Workshops are normally held in the Library's e-Learning Room on Tuesdays and Thursdays and last approximately one hour. Places are limited and pre-booking is essential.

You can secure a place on any of the workshops by booking online. Follow the links below for further details or view by date in the calendar. A list of the workshops for each month is also available.

If you are not already a member of the Wellcome Library, please complete the e-registration form in order to book a workshop place. (On your first visit to the Library, you will need to upgrade to full membership.)

We can also arrange workshops just for visiting groups or organisations. For advice or assistance, telephone 020 7611 8722 or email library@wellcome.ac.uk.
