Colleges | Special Collections and Archive Tour

Event Details

Come on a behind the scenes tour of the Special Collections and Archives in the Library. Starting at 1pm on Wednesday 11th November. Registration required.

Come on a behind the scenes tour of the Special Collections and Archives in the Library with Katie Waring, Special Collections and Archive Manager.

The tour will show us where the collections are stored, including over 17,000 rare publications and nearly 60 archival collections, before visiting the Archive Research Centre (ARC).

In the ARC we will get the opportunity to view some of the stars of the library collections, including the oldest book, printed in 1491. There will also be materials on the history of Bowland College from the University Archives to show you where it all started.

Meet at the Library entrance.

Please note that no food or drink is permitted in the ARC.
