Access to the Special Collections Reading Room

Closure and refurbishment of our Special Collections Reading Room and Service

Due to the relocation of Special Collections to the Holloway Road Learning Centre during  Autumn 2024, we will temporarily be closed to users. During the closure we will be operating a limited enquiry service via email, a Learning and Teaching Room at Aldgate, or online appointments.
For online appointments, researchers and students can book a one-hour timeslot to view Special Collections material remotely. Consultation via email prior to booking your appointment is requested. Thank you for patience and co-operation during this period of change.
