Keele University Special Collections and Archives
We collect, preserve and provide access to a unique, eclectic and inspiring range of collections and archives, dating from the twelfth century to the present day, for the benefit of the Higher Education community and beyond.
Our holdings span some 1400 linear metres of manuscript, printed and pictorial material, which has been acquired by deposit, gift and purchase since the 1950s. Material relating to the history of North Staffordshire is a particular strength. In addition, we hold several important collections of personal and research papers, records relating to the history of the University, and a large archive charting the development of sociology in Britain.
