COVID-19

Please be aware that our opening hours have now changed to Monday, Tuesday and Friday (10am-3pm)

We are now able to welcome a limited number of new readers. Registration appointments and desks must be booked in advance (library@ghil.ac.uk). Temporary procedures and limitations to services still apply (see here). They will be under constant review and might be amended at short notice to ensure the safety of our visitors and staff.

In order to book a slot, please send us an email (library@ghil.ac.uk), including your name, reader number, topic of research, and the date and time you would like to visit us. Please let us know if your research need is urgent so that we can prioritize your request.

Please note that currently only shelf marks S and L (ground and first floor) are freely accessible. For all other items we will offer a fetching service twice daily. You may also pre-order two restricted items in your booking email. See our library catalogue for our holdings.

If you can’t make it to Bloomsbury Square but need something from our collections, we are able to offer a limited facility to email you scans. Please let us know what you need at library@ghil.ac.uk and we’ll see what we can do (copyright and staff time allowing).

Library staff are also available for more general enquiries at library@ghil.ac.uk. If appropriate, we may offer you advice via a video call in our new Virtual Enquiry Desk.
