We are a software development team for a free museum and library that aims to challenge how we all think and feel about health.
Digital media and services are vital to our mission, they include:
- A unified search for all our collections, both on our website and as open APIs
- Access to millions of digitised images through IIIF APIs, shared with open and permissive licences
- Long-form narrative content published at https://wellcomecollection.org/stories
We work in the open, so that others can learn from our mistakes and successes.
All the services we've built in-house are open source, made available under an MIT licence.
