Information for Researchers

Researchers wishing to use the resources of the Old Library must contact us in advance, outlining their academic and research credentials and their need to consult specific items in our historic collections.

Arrangements are made for readers to work from 10-1pm and 2-5pm, Monday-Friday, on dates when the Pepys Library is open. Researchers of Old Library material are usually accommodated in the Pepys Library.

The guidelines for researchers, which are necessary to consult prior to making an appointment, can be downloaded below.
