Wellcome Library Year in Review published

The Library’s Year in Review is out now and is available as a PDF document for viewing and downloading. It covers our activities during 2008, specifically highlighting our digitisation programme. We also showcase some of our exciting acquisitions from the year, including the casebooks of the ‘father of modern forensics’ Sir Bernard Spilsbury and the notebooks of double Nobel Prize winning geneticist Fred Sanger.

Two of our regular readers, independent researcher Andy Clark and postgraduate student Katherine Rawling, also offer their insights into the experience of a Wellcome Library user.

The live links within the PDF document allow you to click straight through to the most recent updates on the Library catalogues and websites.

In 2008 Wellcome Library recorded over 33,000 visitors to its facilities and over 486,000 unique visitors to its website. For more information like this, see our complimentary Vital Statistics sheet, compiled to bring you up to date on the facts and figures behind the Library.

A limited number of print copies of the Year in Review will be available. If you would like to request a copy please contact t.tillotson@wellcome.ac.uk.
