You can find out what is in the collections using the collections search or the library catalogue. You can access digital and digitised collections remotely using the search, and in most cases should be able to download copies of images for non-commercial use in support of your research.
To view rare books, manuscripts, photographs, archival material and some museum objects, in person, you'll need to book an appointment to visit the Napier Reading Room in Martyrs Kirk. More information is available on the University Collections website.
