Farewell to Russell Square
Friday of last week we moved the final crate and items of furniture from 28 Russell Square to our new home on the ground floor of the Senate House building. Having being located in its Russell Square premises since its inception it is a big change for the Institute and for the Library.
We're now unpacking and arranging material, and arranging for reader tables and chairs to be placed in the new area. Final work on building a counter and security works remain to be done so visitors in the next few days may not be able to gain access to our new space. In the meantime please do visit the Small Hall, on the ground floor of Senate House. A fetch and enquiry service will be operating from this point until we are fully open.

Move to Senate House delayed
Our move to Senate House has been unfortunately delayed. This is because the extensive programme of works to refurbish the South Block of the Senate House building have not yet been fully completed.
With a large number of parts of the School and Senate House and Institute Libraries moving, scheduling of these moves is currently being re-worked, taking into account the delays in access to the refurbished areas, as well as the desire to complete all moves by the start of the new academic year.
Please check our website for updates. We will close both to enable the Institute academic and administrative offices to be moved, and while the Library itself is moving. We have plans for alternative access to collections to be available during any closed period, and recommend that any researchers or other users contact us in advance as much as possible.
