Libraries and museums

Students at the University of Cambridge have enviable access to some of the best library and museum collections in the world.

The University Library

There are over a hundred libraries in the Collegiate University, but the biggest one is the University Library (UL), with over eight million books and journals.

Each College also has its own library, as do many Departments and Faculties. In order to make these facilities easier to find, a libraries directory has been created of all the libraries available at the Collegiate University.

Museums

Here in Cambridge we have the country's highest concentration of internationally important museums and collections outside London; they are a world-class resource for students.
