Wellcome Library Workshops

This week’s free Wellcome Library workshops are:

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.
Tuesday 9th November, 2-3pm

Using historical newspapers online
Have you ever wanted to browse newspapers from the 19th Century? In this workshop you can explore the Times Digital Archive, and learn how to search the text of newspapers from the British Library's newspaper archive online. A wealth of social history for all!
Thursday 11th November, 2-3pm

Our programme of free workshops offers short practical sessions to help you discover and make use of the wealth of information available at the Wellcome Library. Book a place from the library website.
