Information for Researchers

Researchers wishing to use the resources of the Pepys Library, the Old Library or the College Archives must contact the Library 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.

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

Information and online resources relating to the Pepys Library, Old Library and College Archives can be found on the Catalogues and Research Tools page.

For a more informal look at the collections, take a look at the Magdalene College Libraries blog.
