The British Online Archives (BOA) are granting temporary free access to six of their unique collections of primary historical sources until 30 May 2025, offering all our staff and students the opportunity to engage with the innovative BOA digital platform and the millions of primary sources that it hosts, spanning statistics and government reports covering colonial Africa and the West Indies, 20th century Britain and the Communist Bloc.

We are excited to announce a month of trial access to Ms Magazine (from its inception in 1972 onwards), ending 22 May 2025. You may need to be connected to the University network using the GlobalProtect VPN to access this trial.

In response to student feedback, hot food can now be eaten in the University Library and microwaves are available in the café area for you to use. Please keep hot food in the café area, clean up after yourself and help us to make this trial a success.
