Colleges | Special Collections and Archive Tour

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.

Come and explore this hidden part of the library. Places are limited so please register via libcal.

Take place on Wednesday 11 November, 1pm-2pm. Meet at the Library entrance.

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