The vision for the Wellcome Library’s digital engagement programme is to create the world’s largest free and unrestricted
digital library focused on the cultural contexts of health.

Digitisation at the Wellcome Library• The Wellcome Library is developing a world-class online resource for the
history of medicine by digitising a substantial proportion of its holdings & making the content freely available on the web.
• We will also strive to include important content from other institutions, which complements our own holdings, & to explore commercial partnerships for cost-effective digitisation of other parts of our collections.
• The Wellcome Library began its digitisation programme in 2010; its ambition is to make freely available over 50 million pages of historic medical books, archives, manuscripts & journals by 2020.

FTP’ing of Third Party Content• FTP process linked to Goobi for processing of the content to be
automated.• Dedicated workflow created for Goobi which monitors the FTP
server for the arrival of new data.• Automatically virus checks & quarantines the content over a 24
hour period before automatically uploaded into Goobi.• If something fails the virus check or the image folders don’t
match the metadata in Goobi, they will go into a “suspicious” folder.

Benefits of Automation• Reduced quarantine time for FTP’d content speeds up projects
considerably.• Automation has upped our throughput.• Fewer human clicks in general.• Less ingest resource required.
19
Future Developments• Improve the matching process for automated image upload.• This would decrease the number of manual image upload tasks required.• Automate the METS edition task for non-sensitive and open content.• Create Rulesets for automating the METS edition of content according to
publication year.
