Temporary Closure of the Angus Library and Archive
The Angus Library and Archive will close temporarily from January to October 2026 to all visitors and enquirers.
Continuing high usage levels both in person and online, combined with large amounts of existing and new donations and deposits, have meant that we need to create space and time for the Angus Library team and our volunteers to undertake a variety of critically important tasks and initiate new and exciting projects.
A temporary closure will enable us to carry out these tasks as well as improve the operation of the library and prepare for the college centenary in 2027/2028. For more details, please go to:

Using the Angus
Although researching Baptist history is an obvious reason people would use The Angus Library and Archive, it is only one of many subjects people research. We have had people research, ship building, slavery, human rights, women’s rights, missionary work, geography, linguistics, the list is endless.
The reasons people visit are just as varied with people undertaking: family history, researching doctoral work, writing church histories, academics researching papers and publications, lay people with an interest in a person or event.
