The Reading Room offers a safe and welcoming environment for researchers, theorists, artists, and curators to explore a diverse selection of books, objects, and archival materials from the Library and Archive of the IYP Collection.

The space hosts a curated range of thematic sections, including subjects such as women’s histories, folk culture, geography, shipping, and social history. Visitors will also find rare art books, journals, exhibition catalogues, and significant works of literature on its shelves. Our staff are on hand to answer any queries about our items.
