Gonville & Caius College

Thank you for visiting the Library's home page. The College has possessed a collection of books since its foundation in 1348 and has housed them in a library since 1441. The Library is a rich learning resource available to all Caians. We also welcome scholars from around the world who wish to consult our impressive collections.

In practical terms, the Library is divided between the Working Library and the Old Library. The Working Library houses an extensive collection of books and journals covering all areas of the Tripos and additional research material in many subjects. The Old Library contains the College's large collection of manuscripts, early printed books, and other rare material.

Part of the Library's mission is to develop its collections to reflect new departures in teaching and learning, and to respond to the introduction of new Tripos subjects. We aim to develop our on-line resources to reflect the increasing emphasis on new technologies.
