Special Collections Centre: University of Aberdeen

About us
The Special Collections Centre is home to the University’s historic collections of books, manuscripts, archives and photographs.
Housed in climatically controlled facilities, the collections comprise over 200,000 rare printed books as well as 5,000 irreplaceable archival collections, with material dating as far back as the 3rd century BC. The collections cover all aspects of the history and culture of the University, the City of Aberdeen, the region and the relationship they enjoy with the wider world, and are available to be consulted in the Reading Room on the Lower Ground Floor of The Sir Dunca Rice Library.
The Centre also provides visitors of all ages with opportunities to learn more about the collections through seminars, workshops and educational activities. The adjacent Glucksman Conservation Centre carries out vital preservation and conservation work on our most fragile items, enabling wider access to these important collections.
