Library

The Hellenic and Roman Library is maintained jointly with the Society for the Promotion of Roman Studies and in association with the Institute of Classical Studies. Members of the Society will be issued with a library card on their first visit. (If you are not able to visit in person, please email: iclass.enquiries@london.ac.uk)

The collection currently stands at just over 150,000 volumes. This includes almost 130,000 monographs and 22,000 periodicals. 20% of the material is unique at point of acquisition and 15% remains unique. 50% of the material is published outside the UK, and is particularly strong in mainstream European languages and Modern Greek. The annual growth rate for books and periodicals is approximately 3,000 volumes. Most importantly, the entirety of the Library’s stock (apart from the rare books) is on open shelves (Library Catalogue).
