# Recipient Museums & Libraries

As part of Transcribe Wellcome, we are building a prototype demonstration for a virtual reunification of the 'Wellcome diaspora' - items loaned or gifted to other museums and libraries worldwide between Henry Wellcome's death in 1936 and 1982.

If you are a curator or researcher with an interest in former Wellcome material at another museum or library, we'd love to hear from you! Please get in touch at [transcribe@wellcome.org](mailto:%20transcribe@wellcome.org).

We're particularly interested to hear more about:

* Holdings of former Wellcome collections: lists of your object numbers with brief descriptions, and if possible, URLs for individual objects. Even single examples are helpful - every little counts!
* Concordance data: however messy, connecting your object numbers to WHMM accession and/or registration identifiers. We're happy to help with data cleanup and standardisation.
* Any Wellcome documentation in your possession as we try to understand more about the gaps in the archive we still hold: index cards, copies of registers, sales catalogues, object files, correspondence relating to the dispersal to your library or museum, etc.
* Current lines of provenance research about specific objects, geographies or themes.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.wellcomecollection.org/collections-information/lQ0fMyP8xr8hWWJiQkfl/transcribe-wellcome/contributing-to-transcribe-wellcome/recipient-museums-and-libraries.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
