* Please note for 2026 and 2027:
- Corpus Library Special Collections is now closed to readers until the end of June 2026, and we are not taking appointments. During this time we regret that there will be no access to the Wright Special Collections Centre, and there will be delays in responding to reprographic and research enquiries.
- Access to the collection will be limited for the remainder of 2026, and into 2027.
- Significant book moves within modern collection are also taking place, therefore all library and archives staff are occupied with these essential housekeeping projects.
- Please note that the library and archive email inboxes will not be monitored as frequently during this time.
If you have an enquiry about the archives, manuscripts or early printed books – including access, appointments or reprographics – please read the webpages for Visitors, or Digitisation and Imaging Services before contacting staff.
