The RSM is home to an extraordinary archive collection. Offering a fascinating insight into the history and evolution of the medical profession, the archive holds stories about the lives of members and individuals associated with the RSM from the last 200 years.
The records date back to 1805 and provide a unique resource describing the RSM’s history, from how the 19th-century medical societies joined together to form the Society, to modern-day records illustrating its current work.
We also welcome donations of archive material from amalgamating societies or individuals who have made a significant contribution to the work of the RSM.
For research enquiries or to make an appointment to view archive material, please contact the Library on 020 7290 2940 or email library@rsm.ac.uk.
