Welcome to Senate House
After a short 'soft' opening we're now officially open and welcome visitors to our new location. We're now based on the ground floor of the North Block of the Senate House building. Entrance is through the Small Hall. As a result of the move we have placed a significant portion of our collection on open access to enable browsing by users. We will be posting photographs to help you find us and some descriptions of the collections available in the next few days.
We look forward to seeing you and getting feedback on our new location and services.

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.

Congratulations to National Library of Jamaica
The National Library of Jamaica has been awarded just under J$3 million (US$33,500) through the United States 2009 Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation. The money will be used for the conservation of the Enos Nuttall Manuscripts—documents dating back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries that record significant milestones in Jamaica’s history. The collection, which once belonged to the esteemed Enos Nuttall who served as bishop, consists of 38 boxes of letters written by governors of Jamaica, clergy and laymen identified as a source of important perspectives during the period immediately following the Morant Bay Rebellion of 1865 up to and including the World War I. The manuscripts also provide information on the formation and development of several institutions including schools, mental institutions, prisons and the poor relief services. The AFCP, created by Congress in 2001, aims to assist less-developed countries in preserving museum collections, ancient and historic sites, and traditional forms of expression....
