There are millions of individual items in the collections, dating from the 12th century to the present day. For safe keeping and preservation, these are stored in environmentally-controlled conditions inside the Library's 'golden box'.

Items from our collections can be viewed by appointment in the Wolfson Centre. You can find details of our opening hours and how to make an appointment on the City Council website.

Opening hours for the Wolfson Centre for Archival Research can be found here.
