Also technically part of the History of the Book collection on the open shelves in the Barker Research Library are many volumes of reference books to support research into Archives and Special Collections. These include dictionaries, biographical registers of clergy, aristocracy, universities and schools, and the various guides of the Royal Historical Society.
These collections have not been digitised, so that only the catalogues are currently available online.
If you would like to purchase digital copies of specific items from any of our collections, please get in touch.
If you are a member of teaching staff at Durham University and would like to use material from Archives and Special Collections within your lectures or seminars, we may be able to scan or photograph items for this purpose. Please contact us as early as possible with any teaching digitisation requests.
See also our guide to Digitised Collections Online for further information on our digital resources.
