Catalogues
There are two separate catalogues which cover our collections, depending on format of the material.
Search our catalogue of printed books, periodicals, printed ephemera (and some discrete manuscripts). There is also an introduction to the catalogue, and help online once inside the catalogue itself.
Search our catalogue and finding aid for archives and manuscripts . You can also find more information about this catalogue.
To be sure we can provide the material you need, and because we have limited space, Chetham’s Library is open to readers by prior appointment. We’re sorry, but we can’t offer weekend appointments, nor are we able to provide reader space for those who aren’t working on our collections. Please contact us as far in advance as you can to arrange a study visit, or with any questions or queries you may have about our holdings. We’ll do our best to help.
