As many people will already know, on March 31, the Wellcome Trust abruptly
announced that it intended to withdraw its funding from the Wellcome Trust
Centre for the History of Medicine at UCL, which would be closed completely
on September 30, 2012. A similar statement followed from UCL.

You are invited to sign the petition against closure that is now online at <http://www.petitiononline.com/WTCHOM/petition.html>and to pass details of it on to others known to you who might also support
our cause.

Further information is available on our website and the opportunity to
comment on the closure can be found on

With thanks for your support,

Vivian Nutton
Emeritus Professor of the History of Medicine
