Librarian - Printed Rare Material @Wellcome Trust

London, GB

I am responsible for planning and carrying out an inventory of all the pre-1851 printed materials held by the Wellcome Trust. The items in the Wellcome Collection include a mixture of incunabula, rare books and ephemera on subjects such as medicine, folklore, witchcraft and health.I am also part of the organisation team for Transcribe Wellcome - a project aimed at transcribing Wellcome Collection archives to make them more accessible for research into the objects and the institution.
