New Library Update

Issue 5 November 2011

We are thrilled to announce that the new Special Collections Centre on the lower ground floor of the University Library is about to open its doors for the first time on 15 November, offering unprecedented access to the University’s internationally significant collections of rare books, manuscripts, archives and photographs.

The staff of Special Collections would like to thank all our readers for their patience and understanding while we have been carrying out the collections move, and look forward to welcoming you to the new facilities.
