Special Collections

Based on the top floor of Murray Health, our Special Collections are unique and rare materials to support teaching and research. Many of these materials are linked to the history and heritage of Sunderland and the North East England.

Room with table and chairs and replica mining banners on the walls.

Within these collections, you will find records and objects relating to organisations, individuals, and historical periods. These are not only diverse but rich in content, offering an excellent opportunity for original research.

Please get in touch with us to arrange an appointment, as access hours are restricted.
