Inspiration/Sources for EditsThe Wellcome has a number of resources that might help provide information or inspiration for Wiki-pages or edits. Many items have been digitised and can be accessed online anywhere. Other items can be accessed at the Library by signing up for a free library card: you can register online and order items in advance so they're waiting for you on your arrival. Digitised Mental Healthcare MaterialsThe historical records of a number of UK psychiatric institutions and personnel are in the process of being digitised and can be found here. For each set of archive files, there are descriptions of the place/person they're about, which could form the basis of some new pages or improvements to pages (all content on the website is licenced under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence unless otherwise stated). Mental Health & Psychiatry Things at the LibraryA thematic search of Wellcome library materials in the Alpha Catalogue for mental health and psychiatry turn up lots of people, linked topics or subtopics, and books (some digitised, some not). Take a look! Medical Officer of Health ReportsThe Wellcome have digitised thousands of Medical Officer of Health Reports for London from 1848-1972. These reports contain both statistical information (which might be of interest to Wikidata users) and narrative accounts of many varied things that affected the health of Londoners. There are many results concerning psychiatric topics. Click View Tables Only to filter the results to show only show data (which can be exported). Women MedicsEmma Milliken has compiled an index to the obituaries of Medical Women's Federation members that are contained in issues of its Quarterly or Journal, (which can be found on the catalogue record page). Lots of these women doctors have not yet got Wikipedia pages, though likely several of them do fit notability criteria. The Wellcome Library's holdings of these issues could be really useful to anyone interested in adding some important women to Wikipedia. Codebreakers (History of genetics pages for improvement)Some articles on people who played a role in the history of genetics could be much improved, and these might be a good starting point for those unfamiliar to editing. They are listed below, with links to the Wikipedia pages and to some sources from the Wellcome to get you started:
