Modern collections
UCL’s modern collections complement the Special Collections, and largely comprise material published since 1850. They include some nationally or internationally important collections of more modern material alongside the very current material we provide to support ongoing teaching and research.

Library Liberating the Collections
Across the LCCOS department we are taking action and encouraging conversations around inclusivity within our collections. The Library Liberating the Collections group oversees activities that will increase the visibility of print, digital and archive materials by and about under-represented voices relating to race, sexuality, gender and disability, to raise awareness and enhance access within UCL and external communities.
