Duration

Description
The collection at the newly renovated Martyrs’ Kirk Postgraduate Library and Special Collections Reading Room features hundreds of items, amassed over 600 years from a wide range of sources, including kings, clerics, and scholars. Students and academics from the United Kingdom and throughout the world depend on these significant works—Greek papyri, medieval illuminated manuscripts, early printed books, early print photographs, and the papers of celebrated writers and thinkers—for research and teaching. The Corporation’s centennial grant enabled the University of St. Andrews to make valuable additions to the library’s Special Collections and carry out much-needed conservation work. This grant will enable the library’s most experienced and qualified librarians and archivists to dedicate the majority of their time to preserving the Special Collections.
