Manchester Metropolitan University’s Special Collections form a fascinating and varied resource for the use and enjoyment of teachers, learners, researchers and the general public.

They are located within the Sir Kenneth Green Library on the All Saints campus, except for the North West Film Archive, which has its own purpose designed, world-class premises in Manchester city centre.
