MANUSCRIPTS AND RARE BOOKS READING ROOMS

The University Library has been awarded a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund to enlarge its reading rooms for manuscripts and rare books. The work is expected to start during the summer of 1999 and to be completed by the early autumn of 2001. During that period all materials from the collections will remain available to readers. Some classes will be fetched to other reading rooms in the Library, but most will have to be consulted in a temporary reading room accommodating readers of both manuscripts and rare books, where space will be limited. It may be necessary at peak times to place some restrictions on access and usage.

Scholars planning to work on the rare book and manuscript collections are advised to try to plan their visits to avoid the peak times (June to September) and, if possible, to use the Library before May 1999. If this is not convenient, prior notice to the Rare Books (rarebooks@ula.cam.ac.uk) or Manuscripts Departments (mss@ula.cam.ac.uk) is recommended. Further details will be made available on the University Library's Web site (http://www.lib.cam.ac.uk/).
