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.
