The Western manuscript collection contains ancient, medieval and early modern manuscripts, with modern archives and manuscripts

Microforms

We have a large collection of microfilms available to Readers visiting the Manuscript Reading Room.  

Some are named collections such as Northumberland papers, Stationers Hall Archive, Verney Papers, and Hatfield House papers. 

We also hold microfilms made to act as surrogates when the original manuscripts cannot be issued. For more information about these collections please contact us.
