Information
THE BIBLIGRAPHICAL SOCIETY LIBRARY AND ARCHIVE
The Bibliographical Society Library, for many years housed at Stationers’ Hall in the City of London, moved in January 2007 to Senate House of the University of London. Since July 2017 it has had a new home, The Albert Sloman Library at the University of Essex, where the collection is available in open-access shelving. Full details of contacts and opening hours at The Albert Sloman Library can be found at http://libwww.essex.ac.uk/.
The Bibliographical Society Archive is deposited in the Bodleian Library. It may be used by scholars and by Members of the Society. All researchers wishing to use the Archive must have a valid Bodleian reader’s ticket, but Members of the Society who are not otherwise eligible should bring to Bodleian Admissions their current signed Society’s Programme Card together with proof of identification. The archive covers every aspect of the Society’s activities from its foundation in 1892 to 2008. Comprising the records of a private society without a permanent office and run by honorary officers, the coverage is patchy and at times haphazard, and researchers will find unexpected gaps and equally unexpected inclusions. Further details are available at the Society’s website (http://www.bibsoc.org.uk/content/
