about
The Special Collections Centre in the Sir Duncan Rice Library houses the University of Aberdeen’s historic collection of rare books, archives and manuscripts. Comprising some 230,000 books and over 5,000 archive collections, they cover aspects of the history of the University, Aberdeen and the region and their relationships with the wider world.
The collections can be consulted in the Wolfson Reading Room, while many of our collections and greatest treasures are also accessible on our website. These include the Aberdeen Bestiary, the George Washington Wilson photographic collection and information about the provenance of the University’s rare books.
