Research Collections

The four parts of Research Collections have been drawn together to act as a cross-domain unit to enhance our range of user services, and to maximise team working and collaboration.

It is our aim to eventually provide seamless access to all catalogues and lists detailing all Research Collections learning resources, and for staff to increasingly share their expertise across a range of projects and initiatives.

Research Collections comprises:
