These collections are owned by the trustees of Ushaw College. Durham University Library and Collections staff undertake cataloguing of the collections and provide access for researchers. See webpage on our Partner Libraries for information on Ushaw College Library.
Some of Durham Cathedral's archive collections are managed by cathedral staff, while others are in the custody of the university and held at Palace Green Library. For further information on these collections, see our Guide to Durham Cathedral Collections.
Our collections are at one of two sites.
For disruption due to roofing works in 2024-2025, visit our guide. To make an appointment, please use our enquiry form. Appointments need to be made at least three working days in advance (at least three weeks notice is required for items at Ushaw), and we will need to know the full list of document references or shelfmarks of the items you wish to consult before we can confirm your booking. If you are unsure of how to do this or need assistance please contact us and we will be happy to help.
See information on Using Our Collections for further information on accessing our collections and on our facilities and services.
Details of opening times can be found in our Library Sites guide.
