The Wellcome Library is digitizing its medical archives to create an online resource. It aims to digitize 1.1 million pages from its own collections and 500,000 pages from external partners. Digitizing involves flattening, removing staples from, and photographing archives page-by-page. Sensitive personal information will be restricted from public access online and require registration. Non-sensitive open access material over 100 years old can be freely accessed, while newer material requires registration.
