Discover the rich history of one of Britain’s most beloved institutions in this talk by Nick Baldwin, who has spent 36 years as Archivist at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children. Nick will offer a potted history of the hospital since its founding in 1852, tracing its development as a pioneer in children’s healthcare. He will also introduce the Great Ormond Street Hospital Archives, a remarkable collection of documents, photographs and artefacts spanning more than 160 years of medical and social history.

As public records accessible under the Public Records Act 1958, the archives are an invaluable resource for researchers. This talk offers a rare glimpse into the stories, discoveries and lives preserved within one of the nation’s most significant medical archives.
