The Collections
The Library of the Royal College of Surgeons of England has an outstanding collection of books ranging in scope from the 15th century onwards, which chronicles the development of British surgery.
Why we need your help
At the current rate of restoration it will take over 50 years to cope with our immediate conservation needs, by which stage many volumes will be beyond repair.
It is therefore essential that we act now if this unique surgical legacy is not be lost to future generations.
A big thank you!
