Wellcome Library

Excerpt from DPC Annual Report 2008-2009

The Wellcome Library continues to actively seek born digital materials for its collections. This year the Library has acquired Safety Deposit Box as its digital object repository. Safety Deposit Box has been installed and is currently being integrated with the Library’s archival system Calm. The Library’s archivists are actively engaged with selected donors to secure personal and organisational digital archives.  

Recognising the need for user education the Library has updated the Digital Curation section on its website. Information here is based on our growing understanding and experience of working with born digital material, and is designed to support individuals or professionals in their work.

The Library continues to contribute material to the UK Web Archive. Websites archived by the Library are catalogued and available through the Library OPAC. The Calm archival catalogue now includes links to archived websites where the Library holds an organisations material and has also archived its website.
