Journals, eJournals & online resources

The Library holds many periodical titles related to the performing arts. Some of these titles are no longer subscribed to, or are defunct, but the Library retains back issues in its collection.

Some titles may be online only or kept off-site. Please check the online catalogue for details of holdings.

The latest issues of periodicals are available for consultation in the Reading Room, with earlier issues bound as volumes and shelved in the basement or off-site, available for loan.

The Library possesses a range of materials published by institutions and learned societies. These society publications are shelved in the Societies section in the basement, under the original name of each issuing institute, e.g. Societies, Plainsong & Mediaeval Music Society.

Through the online catalogue, members can view a further range of journals online – as well as other electronic publications and databases – in the library or remotely. There is also access to the Arts & Humanities collections within JSTOR, an electronic periodicals archive that allows members to access back-runs of over 750 additional periodical titles.
