<meta property="mw:PageProp/toc">
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>
<p><a href="Henry_Wellcome" title="Henry Wellcome">Henry Wellcome</a> began collecting books seriously in the late 1890s, using a succession of agents and dealers, and by travelling around the world to gather whatever could be found. Wellcome's first major entry into the market took place at the auction of <a href="William_Morris" title="William Morris">William Morris</a>'s library in 1898, where he was the biggest single purchaser, taking away about a third of the lots. His interests were truly international and the broad coverage of languages and traditions is one of the library's strengths. Significant collections acquired during this early period included the library of <a href="Joseph_Frank_Payne" title="Joseph Frank Payne">Joseph Frank Payne</a>, medical historian and librarian of the Royal College of Physicians, purchased in 1911, and the major part of the library of the Munich historian Ernst Darmstaedter, bought in 1930.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>When Henry Wellcome died, the bulk of his estate and his collection was bequeathed to a body of trustees, who formed the <a href="Wellcome_Trust" title="Wellcome Trust">Wellcome Trust</a>. Their primary duty was to use the income generated by the trust to support ongoing biomedical research, but they were also charged with fostering the study of medical history through the care and maintenance of the collections. A programme of sorting and rationalising was therefore begun, which lasted throughout the 1940s and beyond.
</p><p>The library's story during the later decades of the 20th century has been one of continuing growth and development. A significant addition during the 1980s was the purchase of the manuscripts, and about 10,000 printed books, from the Medical Society of London Library.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Nomenclature">Nomenclature</h3></div>
<p>The Wellcome Library has been renamed more than once. Over the years from the early twentieth century onwards it has been known, formally and informally, as "The Wellcome Reference Library" (<abbr title="circa">c.</abbr><span style="white-space:nowrap;"> 1930</span>), "The Wellcome Research Library" (to 1941), "Wellcome Historical Medical Museum and Library" (to 1968), "The Wellcome Historical Medical Research Library" (late 1960s and early 1970s), "<a href="Wellcome_Institute_for_the_History_of_Medicine" title="Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine">Wellcome Institute</a> of (later "for") the History of Medicine [Library]," "Wellcome Institute Library" (1980s), "Wellcome Library for the History and Understanding of Medicine" (early 2000s), and "Wellcome Collection: The Library" (since 2007).<sup id="cite_ref-:0_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Many people refer to the library informally as "The Wellcome Library, London."
</p><p>The Wellcome Trust's activities around the history of medicine, and on the public understanding of science, were brought together in 1998 to create a new Medicine, Society, and History Division. Recognizing a wider remit than history of medicine only, the library is today (2019) part of <a href="Wellcome_Collection" title="Wellcome Collection">Wellcome Collection</a> and aims to promote both the history and understanding of medicine.
