Explore LJMU Special Collections & Archives at this rare Saturday open day! We’ll be showcasing archive material from our sixty-two exciting collections in this hands-on drop-in workshop.

Please arrive with clean, bare hands and be aware that some of our collections contain sexually explicit material. No food, drink, or pens will be allowed within the Reading Room.

The Reading Room is located on the Lower Ground floor of the Mount Pleasant Campus Library, which is wheelchair accessible. Do let us know in advance if you have any other access needs we need to be aware of via archives@ljmu.ac.uk

If you are an external user, you will need any form of ID to sign in at the reception desk before heading downstairs to the Archive.

If you can’t make the event, but still want to view something from our collections – we’re open Mon-Fri 10:00-16:00, and you can request any of the material on our shelves by emailing us at archives@ljmu.ac.uk.
