The Wellcome Library specialises in the history of medicine. It’s based in London but has recently put online a collection of images which you are able to use freely under the Creative Commons License. The Head of Wellcome Images says,
Wellcome Images is an invaluable tool for teachers and researchers of medical history, health, clinical and biomedical sciences. Through visuals users are able to develop a more profound understanding of human and animal biology, and can use them in their research and teaching. What is unusual for a picture library of this nature, is that the online service is completely free.
The collection is grouped into six sets (each starting with the letter “W”!) –
- Wellcome
- War
- Wonderful
- Witchcraft
- Wellness
- World
Some of the images are startlingly beautiful. Go have a browse. This is an especially useful resource if you teach biological or health sciences.
