Visit Special Collections

Everyone is welcome to use Special Collections and the University Archive.

Staff and students can use Special Collections without an appointment, but must make an appointment to use the University Archive. Please bring your staff or student ID card.

Non-members of the University of Leeds must make an appointment to use either facility. Please bring photo ID (eg passport or driving licence) on your first visit in order to register with us.

There is no need to order the items you wish to see in advance - we bring you your material on demand. You can, however, search our catalogues and databases online.

For more information about reading and borrowing entitlements within the University Library, see the main Leeds University Library membership page.
