The archival legacy for the institution that began as the Cambridgeshire Tuberculosis Colony, blossomed into the Papworth Village Settlement, and which, in the Papworth NHS Hospital and Papworth Trust, have matured into leading healthcare institutions within the distinct fields of cardiac care and disability training, is an extensive one.
