In the basements of Wellcome Collection are a series of environmentally controlled stores where you'll find our manuscripts, archives and rare materials. It’s the job of the Retrieval Team to bring items from the stores up to researchers in the Library. The team gets to see more of our collections than anyone else. So who better to ask for their favourite things from the stores?
