Museums and archives

St Bartholomew's and The Royal London Hospitals both have long and important histories. The hospital museums tell the stories of these renowned institutions, celebrate their achievements and explain their place in history.

Both hospitals hold archives which consist of the documents and records that need to be permanently preserved for legal, financial and historical purposes.
