Royal College of Nursing Library and Heritage Centre

Royal College of Nursing Library and Heritage Centre

The Royal College of Nursing Library and Heritage Centre is home to Europe’s largest nursing specific collection.

In 2013 we opened an exciting new space which includes public exhibitions, a cafe and a shop within the Library space.

Take a look back at the last 200 years in nursing in the main exhibition, This is Nursing. From concerned amateur to compassionate expert, find out how the nursing role has developed with the skills and knowledge needed to help patients feel safe, comfortable and cared for. 

Also available to the public is a new space celebrating our Nursing History collection, enabling visitors to browse nursing history texts, access some of our historic printed collection and to browse smaller exhibitions curated with the RCN History of Nursing Society.
