The John Rylands Research Institute and Library promotes research in the humanities and sciences using the astonishingly rich special collections of the University of Manchester Library.
Based in one of the finest neo-Gothic buildings in Europe and in the heart of Manchester, it is a dynamic community of world-leading researchers, curators, conservators and imaging specialists, all focused on our core mission to define the human experience over five millennia and up to the current day.

Hello there. Thanks for getting in touch and I am very pleased you enjoyed the video. Your Auntie Joan was a very special lady indeed and I hope to write a blog on her before too long. Please do feel free to get in touch with the library on uml.special-collections@manchester.ac.uk
