Study room
The collection and library are accessible to all members of the
public, by appointment. The study room is usually open during
department opening times, on weekdays 10.00-13.00 (except
Wednesdays), and 14.15-16.00 (closed on bank holidays). Space is
limited, so pre-booking is essential.
If you wish to consult the curator of a particular area of the
collection please ensure you make the appointment well in
advance.
For reasons of security, all visitors must
provide photographic identification in order to be admitted to
the study room (for non-UK visitors this must be a passport).
This is a condition of entry and no exceptions will be made.
Photography is not permitted in the study room.
Please ensure you have read the Study
room regulations before visiting.
Temporary closure
Please note that the department will be closed to public
enquiries between 31 August and 4 September 2009.
The Study Room will be closed between these dates, and we will
not be offering an identification service in this week.
