Dear [name],

Thank you for your suggestion. Your enquiry has been forwarded to our Collections Development team for consideration. Please note that due to a high volume of enquiries, it may take some time before the team can respond to you. Thank you for your patience in the meantime.

At Wellcome Collection, we focus on collecting unique and distinctive materials that have the potential to challenge the way we think and feel about health. We collect across many formats, including archives, visual and material culture, moving image and sound, manuscripts, ephemera and printed and published works. Please see our Collections offers and donations page for more information.

We build our collections according to our Collections Development Policy. As we receive a large number of donation offers, we have to work strategically to ensure that we are collecting materials that best fit our mission statement.

Yours sincerely,
