For teachers looking for interesting images to use in their lessons, the Wellcome Images website is a great place to start! Images are grouped by Science, History and Art, and cover a wide variety of topic areas.
The collection contains historical images from the Wellcome Library collections, Tibetan Buddhist paintings, ancient Sanskrit manuscripts written on palm leaves, beautifully illuminated Persian books and much more.
The Biomedical Collection holds over 40 000 high-quality images from the clinical and biomedical sciences. Selected from the UK’s leading teaching hospitals and research institutions, it covers disease, surgery, general healthcare, sciences from genetics to neuroscience including the full range of imaging techniques. These images could be useful for GCSE or A-Level science teaching.
All low res images on the site are freely available for download for personal, academic teaching or study use, under several Creative Commons licences. Hi-res historical images are also available to download from free of charge, for any usage, under a Creative Commons Attribution Only – CC-BY licence. Other higher quality images can also be accessed, for a fee.
