Postgraduate Facilities
The
Templeman Library is well resourced for research purposes. There
are a number of special collections: the John Crow Collection
of Elizabethan and other early printed texts; the Reading/Raynor
Collection of theatre history (over 7,000 texts or manuscripts);
the 18th century collection; the Melville manuscripts relating
to popular culture in the 19th and early 20th centuries; the Pettingell
Collection (over 7,500 items) in 19th century drama; the Eliot
Collection; children's literature; popular literature. A recent
gift from Mrs Valerie Eliot increased the Library's already extensive
holdings in modern poetry. The British Library (London) and the
Bibliothèque Nationale (Paris) are within easy reach.
Besides the Templeman Library, School resources include photocopying, fax and telephone access, support for attending and organising conferences, a common room and a room with computer terminals and a laser printer.
