Following on from the session by Chris Sheppard, Head of
Special Collections at Leeds, at the Rare Books Group

outstanding collections of rare books and manuscripts at
Leeds. There are nearly 200,000 printed works and hundreds
of thousands of manuscript items, covering a very wide
range of subjects. Collections include the Brotherton
Collection, covering literary material: medieval
manuscripts, Bronte and Gaskell material, twentieth century
archives, and more; the Liddle Collection of WW1 letters;
extensive collections of Russian material and Quaker
archives. The Elliott collection, acquired recently,
contains extensive holdings of Waugh and Wilde manuscripts.
