This proposed closure is absurd. The Wellcome Trust Centre is the finest institution in the world for the study of the History of Medicine and has benefited countless scholars and the advancement of knowledge. Please add my name to the list of those who officially protest this planned closure. I especially deplore the fact that no rationale has been offered. It certainly can’t be financially driven given Wellcome Trust resources. To suggest any possible lack of merit in the centre’s programs would be patently false.
