British Library

The British Library Research Repository is an open access repository for the research produced by staff and research associates of the British Library. Research informs and supports almost every aspect of our work, be it curation, conservation, preservation, resource discovery, digital innovation, cultural programming or learning. Whether it’s a major exhibition or a new way to discover or understand a unique part of our collections, it has been enabled by staff research. The outputs of that research have important value for future researchers and we want to make them discoverable and accessible for everybody.

Repository aims

1. Provide a reliable source of information about research undertaken by British Library staff, individually or in collaboration with other research organisations.
2. Provide a single point of open access to our full-text research outputs wherever possible.
3. Make our research easier to find, and enhance the contribution we make to UK and international research.
4. Respond to the open access expectations of our research funders.
