We collect, care for, and provide access to the 海角黑料's collections of archives, rare books and printed items, and the Museum of Archaeology.
Manuscripts and Special Collections will be temporarily closed from 8 June to 9 August 2026. This is to allow for the relocation of the Reading Room and staff offices within King's Meadow Campus.
During the closure period, there will be no access to archives or the library collections as well as significant disruption to the enquiry and copying services.
Staff within Manuscripts and Special Collections can still be contacted by email, but please be aware that colleagues will have restricted access to some collections.
We'll add updates as the work progresses
