Yes, the research collections of the Jerwood Library of the Performing Arts are open to all those who are engaged in research of any type, as well as to members of Trinity College of Music and Laban. Reference only access is provided. Please contact us to arrange an appointment before visiting. This enables us to save you time by having materials ready for you when you arrive. External users wishing to see rare materials will be asked to provide proof of identity.
To make an appointment to use the Mander & Mitchenson Theatre Collection, contact the Manager of the collection, Kristy Davis, (020) 8305 4424. For all other collections, contact the Head Librarian, Claire Kidwell, (020) 8305 4425.
Reference access is available as above. Furthermore, if your institution is a member of SCONUL Access, you may be able to borrow a limited number of items from the library. SCONUL Access enables staff and postgraduate students to borrow from other higher education libraries within the scheme, and also allows undergraduate students to use other libraries for reference purposes. Please obtain a SCONUL Access card from your home library before visiting and check our opening hours, particularly during vacations. If you have any questions about Jerwood Library's involvement in the scheme contact Edith Speller, (020) 8305 4422.
Unless you are a current member of Trinity Laban or an eligible member of SCONUL Access (see above), you cannot borrow items from Jerwood Library. However, if there is a specific item you wish to borrow, you may be able to do so through the Inter-Library Loan scheme. Please contact your local public or academic library for more information.
Search the Jerwood Library catalogue. Viewing the details of an item will confirm whether or not a copy is currently available.
