The Library’s holdings are enriched by a number of named collections, the result of donations and bequests from distinguished scholars.
Due to the Library’s temporary relocation, most named collections will not be available until we return to our main premises.

It also includes personal notes and working materials. Books and DVDs may be borrowed, while journals and offprints (shelved under BOLB ARCH) are for reference in the Library only.
