Dear Dr Rahman,
I have noticed that in your list, you mention the Institute of Ideas and the
Royal Institution as one organisation. Although they have both worked
together recently, they are in fact two separate organisations. You'll just
need to take away the Institute of Ideas as they are not a museum/ do not
hold historical collections. The address is correct for the Royal
Institution.
Also, the Royal College of Physicians does not yet feature on the London
Museums of Health and Medicine website, but has significant historical
collections (archives, museum, library). Please see the address in my
signature below.
You may also want to try the European Association of Museums of the History
of Medical Sciences for further information, their website address is
http://www.aemhsm.org/
I hope that this information is helpful.
Kind regards
Bryony Kelly
