The Library's collections include around 14 million books, along with substantial holdings of manuscripts and items dating as far back as 2000 BC. The library maintains a programme for content acquisition and adds some three million items each year occupying of new shelf space.
Prior to 1973, the Library was part of the British Museum, also in the Borough of Camden.
