Wheektown is currently in the process of a major research project that will culminate in a multi-volume guinea pig encyclopaedia series. Unfortunately, a lot of important scientific papers are hidden behind expensive paywalls. If you have access to any of these papers and are happy to share them with us, we will very grateful. A list of papers needed is provided below. Please note that this list is constantly being added to as we come across more.
