Siriraj Medical Library is the oldest medical library in Thailand, houses the largest collection of medical and public health books and periodicals in Thailand. The Royal Medical School was founded on the Siriraj Hospital site by the decree of King Rama V in 1890 (B.E.2433) and the Siriraj Library was established soon after, in 1897 (B.E.2440), in the main building of the Medical School.

In 1977 (B.E.2520), all staff in the Library transferred to the Library Division under the Mahidol University Rector's Office. In 1986 (B.E.2529), at the direction of the Ministry of University Affairs, the Library Center became a separate institution of Mahidol University. At the same time, Siriraj Medical Library and its staff became the most part of the newly-created Mahidol University Library and Information Center (MULIC), Central Library located at the Salaya Campus.
