Resources

Welcome to our research resources page.

Over the years, plenty of books and articles have been written that may help your research into the University, its people and its history. Most are available in the reading room, but you might also be able to find them in your local library, or even buy a second-hand copy.

There are other resources available online, some via the University, and some via other platforms and organisations.

If you are aware of anything we don’t have listed, please let us know!
