Home of the University of Birmingham's extensive Special Collections of rare books, manuscripts, archives, photographs and associated artefacts, the Cadbury Research Library contains over 250,000 rare books dating from 1471 and more than four million manuscript items dating from the seventh century.  Its work directly supports the University's research, learning and teaching agenda by collecting and making accessible all collections, and seeking to acquire material which ties into that agenda.

CPHC invites you to come and have a look at the behind the scenes collection and to see some its treasures under the guidance of the Cadbury Research Library archives and librarians.
