Most of our collection of post-1850 printed books and journals can be accessed in the Humanities Reading Rooms on Floors 1 and 2 in St Pancras, London.
Our Humanities reading rooms also contain a broad range of material on our open shelves. Humanities 1 holds many reference works covering literature, art, history, religion and philosophy. Humanities 2 includes a large section on library and information sciences, and our recorded sound collections.
These reading rooms are often open until 8pm. Check our opening hours here.
