The RCOG holds unrivalled heritage collections relating to women's health. Countless fascinating stories can be found in the archive, library and museum holdings showing the development of the College, the specialty and women's health in general.
Here, the Information Services team will be highlighting these stories in regular articles, often linked to College, national and international events. See also the RCOG Heritage blog for regular updates on treasures from the collections.
