The Hellenic and Roman Library

The Library is maintained jointly with the Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies and in association with the Institute of Classical Studies (University of London).

It contains over 152,000 volumes, almost 700 periodicals and 6,700 slides and has an international reputation as one of the world’s foremost Classics lending libraries.  About 20% of its accessions are in no other UK library, and the entire collection (apart from the rare books) is available on open shelves. Hear what Mary Beard, Paul Cartledge, Natalie Haynes and Tom Holland say about the exceptional quality of the Library.

Members resident in or visiting the UK may borrow the Societies' books and journals in person or by post. Books belonging to the ICS may be consulted, but not borrowed.

Members of the Society will be issued with a Library Card on their first visit. If you live outside of London or are unable to visit, please contact us to arrange for one to be posted to you.
