- University Collection
- Special Collections
The University History Collection photographic series contains prints, slides, negatives and photograph albums. Much of this material has been digitised and can be viewed on our Virtual Reading Room (VRR).
We also hold separate image deposits focussing on the University campus, staff and students, within the Special Collections.
Many of the image collections listed below are catalogued and available for research. Those collections still to be catalogued have been indicated by the use of italics. We are working on cataloguing these collections. When items are catalogued, they become searchable via the online catalogue.
Please contact us if you need more information about any of these collections.
