Prints and drawings

The Society's collection of topographical and archaeological drawings represents a unique resource in its field.

The Society possesses the UK's most important national collection of archaeological drawings , comprising over 5,000 drawings of archaeological finds, museum objects and antiquities from Britain and other countries.
In addition, the Library has one of the largest collections of topographical drawings in the country, consisting of around 20,000 drawings as well as a substantial number of prints.

The Society has recently completed a pilot project designed to digitise a substantial part of this collection. For further details, see the Online catalogue of drawings and museum objects page.
