UCL Special Collections is one of the foremost university collections of manuscripts, archives and rare books in the UK. It includes fine collections of medieval manuscripts and early printed books, as well as significant holdings of 18th century works, and highly important 19th and 20th century collections of personal papers, archival material, and literature.
The Special Collections Subject Guides provide overviews of relevant printed and archive collections. They are intended as a starting point to help you find resources for your studies or research.
UCL Special Collections is reference only. In order to use the collections, you need to book an appointment at least two weeks prior to the date of your proposed visit. See the Visiting Us Special Collection page for more information.
