Requesting material & Library membership

General stock reply for queries relating to requesting material.

Thank you for contacting Wellcome Collection.

To request items, simply search for the item/s you wish to request in the catalogue. Orderable material can be identified by the appearance of the Request item button in the bottom right corner of the catalogue record.

You can request up to 15 items and these will be held for you for up to 7 days, although we do our best to help anyone who requires more flexibility. Contact our Library team ([email protected]) for any additional assistance with ordering material..

Requests must be made by 10am the day before your intended visit. If you plan to visit on a Monday, you must request your items by 10am the Saturday before, as the Library is closed on a Sunday.

Learn more about Library membership and what's in the collections on our website.

I hope this helps with your research.

Best wishes,
