Social Sciences

Our collection covers social sciences disciplines including, but not restricted to anthropology, criminology, economics, education, management and business studies, media studies, politics, psychology, research methods and social policy.

Law and legal studies

We house a wide range of academic journals which offer diverse perspectives on law. Our archival sources provide information on law, gender and sexuality. We also provide access to legal biographies and historical treatises. 

Our legal resources published in the UK from the 19th century onwards are available in the Social Sciences Reading Room. You can also access transcripts of judgements from selected cases.  

We have a wide collection of law journals and online databases. Following a cyber-attack in October 2023 these are not available at the moment. Please speak to one of our Reference team if you wish to access this collection.
