The key to the medicine cabinet: unlocking resources in archives and manuscripts
Have you ever thought about using archives and manuscripts in your research? We hold the most important history of medicine collection in Britain, and whatever your topic we are likely to hold an unexpected archival gem for you. By the end of the workshop you will know how to browse our Archive and Manuscripts catalogue with confidence, refine your searches, navigate between the Library catalogue and Archive and Manuscripts, and order up materials.
