Small archival collection pertaining to the history of the Margaret Beaufort Institute.
The library has a specialist collection of works by, on and about Cardinal St John Henry Newman which were bequeathed to the Institute by the late Norris Hulse Professor & theologian, Nicholas Lash. A large number of these works were annotated by Professor Lash which makes them of especial value to Newman – and Lash – scholars/researchers.
