Using the Archives


The Archive collections are available for research in our supervised reading room by appointment only. Our catalogue can be accessed online here.


We are happy to answer general enquiries about our collections and other the services we provide, such as copying archival materials. We also collect primary sources relating to teaching and lifelong learning in past, present and future societies and accept donations of records which fall within our acquisition policy.
