================================================================
York Minster Library is the largest cathedral library in

includes early printed books, over a hundred incunables
(pre-1501 books), and special collections of Yorkshire
newspapers, Civil War tracts, printed music, playbills and
historical prints.
The building which now contains the main part of the
library was built around 1230 as a private chapel for the
Archbishop of York. A major extension opened in 1999
containing a new reading room, special collections room,
conservation studio and archive strongroom.
The Library is situated in Dean's Park, on the north side
of York Minster.
