Binned, banned, bombed: selection and survival in Special Collections & Archives

Have you ever wondered why there is what there is in Special Collections & Archives?
Our collections are a fascinating mixture of what survives physical degradation, individual actions, historical events and official censure. But just because something has survived for a long time doesn’t automatically mean it has a place in Special Collections & Archives. 

 

 

Coronavirus (COVID-19): the Special Collections and Archives Reading Room remains closed.

However, from 20th July staff have limited access to the collections and are able to begin answering your enquiries. We continue to develop plans to reopen in accordance with University policy. See our Visiting and Using page for further information.
