About the catalogue

This catalogue consists of records of material held in the Zibby Garnett Library at the University of Lincoln, plus some of the items owned by the Dean & Chapter of Lincoln Cathedral, which can be accessed by staff, students and members of the public.

Once you have found what you are looking for, make a note of the Ref No (reference number) or Class plus title etc., and note the relevant repository and location. Access instructions for the Zibby Garnett Library, Lincoln Cathedral Library and Lincolnshire Archives are available on this website.

Lincoln Cathedral's book collection can also be searched via their Online Catalogue. If you have a specific enquiry, use the "Search" button in the toolbar, which will reveal individual fields to narrow the search, rather than the "Search the Catalogue" box, which is more generic.

The modern reference collection is available to staff, students and members of the public. Access to rare books and manuscripts must be accompanied by an academic referral, as handling is restricted to academic research due to their fragility.

If you have any queries regarding the catalogue please contact the Special Collections Librarian.

For help please read 'How do I search the catalogue?'.

In addition, there is a glossary explaining some of the archival terms.
