The Kingston University Archives and Special Collections houses a number of collections including The Iris Murdoch Collection and Vane Ivannovich Collection.
In 2009 the archive acquired the books and papers of renowned theatre critic Sheridan Morley (1941-2007). These include his collection of books as removed from his home, running into many thousands of volumes plus personal papers and other items such as volumes of press cuttings of his reviews; research notes for many of his biographies including that of Noel Coward; correspondence with many actors including John Gielgud, Alec Guinness and others.
