Humanities & Social Sciences Resource Guide

There are many options for finding resources from the humanities and social sciences, both within St George's and beyond. This guide outlines key resources and how to access them.

Overview

If you can't find relevant material through St George's, you have many other options available at other university and museum libraries in London and beyond. The Library highly recommends joining Senate House Library which has a comprehensive arts, humanities and social sciences collection available remotely. It is free for St George's students to join.

Membership is also available at other University of London libraries, either through the SCONUL scheme or directly through the university for UCL, KCL and LSE.

See the pages in this section for more info on each library.
