Last year marked the tercentenary of the Old Library, whose foundation stone was laid in 1712. Events such as lectures, a conference and an exhibition were organised to celebrate the occasion. The exhibition – ‘A Great Many Choice Books’ – was on display from April to October. This online exhibition was designed to complement its physical counterpart, as well as give an overview of the history of the Library: the building, its collections and its people.
