Libraries and Archives
Lady Margaret Beaufort, foundress of the College, was particularly concerned with the provision of books for her new foundation. From her donation of thirty-nine Latin texts, the Library has grown to accomodate an ever-expanding number of books and readers. Today we have almost 80,000 books, serving the needs of students, Fellows, staff and researchers. Please follow the links at left to visit the section of the library you’re interested in.
