Special Collections refurbishment

PLEASE NOTE. The Special Collections Department in Western Bank Library will be closed for refurbishment for 3 weeks from Monday 15th June. It will re-open on Monday 6th July. During this closure period members of the University can request Rare Books and Special Collections material (not Archives) via the Western Bank Library Level 5 desk. Items will be collected at 10.30am and 2.30pm and are for reference use only. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Digital Collections now available

You can now access materials from both Special Collections and the National Fairground Archive online, through the University of Sheffield Library Digital Collections. There are excellent digital images of many items including photographs, plans, books and maps, as well as video and audio clips.
