Research
Scope
The Edward Jenner Museum actively collects objects, photographs and documents related to smallpox, vaccination and Edward Jenner.
You will find a great deal of information about Edward Jenner, vaccination and the eradication of smallpox by going to the Edward Jenner pages.
The objects are mostly on display in the museum and include personal possessions of Edward Jenner, a small collection of vaccination and medical instruments, engravings and equipment associated with the smallpox eradication campaign masterminded by the World Health Organization (WHO).
The photographic collection includes early diagnostic and record slides and prints, WHO photographs taken in the field and snaps of smallpox isolation hospitals.
The documentary archive contains material relating to smallpox, variolation and vaccination, including personal reminiscences, original and photocopied extracts from books, newspapers, journals and burial registers, vaccination certificates and references to other collections.
Access
The collections that are on display can be viewed during normal museum opening hours.
The reserve collections can be viewed by appointment by written application to the museum, preferably at least 2 weeks before you wish to visit.
