Treasures of Queens’ College Old Library

Dating from 1448, the Old Library is the original library of Queens' College. Its 30,000 volumes include medieval manuscripts, incunabula, books with elaborate bindings and early editions of important works. Many of the books have been annotated by generations of Queens' scholars, providing an invaluable record of intellectual activity from early modern times until the 19th century. With many books in their original 16th-century bindings, the Library is notable in that it remains close to its original state. An exhibition of some of the Library's treasures will be on display.
