The Main Library houses key texts for taught courses and research material for all aspects of Education, focusing on material for the four research groups within the School

We also hold an eclectic collection of Education pamphlets which are currently being catalogued and added to the online catalogue. This collection mostly contains material from the 1940s through to the 1970s and contains some diverse material, from inaugural lectures at various Schools of Education across the country to paraphernalia from the Scout movement.
