The Society for Libyan Studies Library
The Society has an excellent and growing library of books on Libya and related North African subjects, which originates from the collection of the late Professor R.G. Goodchild, former Controller of Antiquities in Libya and Professor of the Archaeology of the Roman Provinces at London University.
The Society’s book collection is managed by a Library Committee whose responsibilities include transferring to the Society Archive at Leicester items which are particularly rare or fragile (with a view to their eventual digitisation).
The library is housed in Level F, mobile stacks of the Library, First Floor, School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), Thornhaugh St, Russell Square, London WC1H OXG.
