Special Collections are curated collections of rare, valuable, and unique records or objects on a particular theme held within libraries, archives, or museums. These collections typically consist of items that are of historical, cultural or intellectual significance. The items themselves may include manuscripts, books, maps, photographs, artwork, the personal papers of notable individuals or other unique items.

We hold Special Collections on the following themes, Bill Griffiths (poet, publisher and activist), the Burnett Autobiographies, the charity, Clarity and Co., Shakespeare (authorship question) and Transport History. To find out more about these collections check our website here Archives and Special Collections | Brunel University London and catalogue here Home Page (brunel.ac.uk).
