Archives

We collect, manage, and provide access to archive and rare book collections. We are open to everyone and our archives cover a huge range of topics of local, national and international interest.

Explore our archives with this online catalogue. You can research all kinds of topics: education, culture, environmental and business history, medicine and health.

We are in the basement of the Tower Building and open, by appointment, to staff, students and members of the public. Visiting us is free and tours of the archives are available.
