Wellbeing
A collection of resources to help support your wellbeing. Some are interactive, others are simply soothing. All we hope are enjoyable, and help you to relax and be productive.
Cultural Collections
We look after a range of locally, nationally and internationally significant cultural collections. The cultural resources we care for range from large scale public art to more traditional paper-based materials and are located across the University’s locations.
Most collections are accessible to the public. You can consult the archives we care for by appointment, visit our exhibition spaces during our opening hours or you can discover them at your leisure as you walk through our grounds.
Climate Action Plan
As part of the University of Bristol’s journey to a net-zero campus, the Library is taking part in a Climate Action Plan to work towards reducing our carbon emissions. This is in response to the Climate Emergency we are currently witnessing as a result of climate change.
