4Wellcome Trust

wellcome.ac.uk

The Wellcome Trust is the route to a wealth of resources, projects, databases and advice for anyone researching the history of medicine, as well as those hunting for ancestors who were doctors, nurses, midwives, physicians, surgeons, apothecaries or dentists. The parent website leads to the Wellcome Collection – the trust’s museum in London. This is where you’ll also find the Wellcome Library ( wellcomelibrary.org). However, there is so much material here that it can be confusing. So start with bit.ly/wellcomefamily- history, which links to genealogical guides relating to different branches of medicine.
