Founded in 1610, Lambeth Palace Library is one of England’s oldest public libraries, and holds a collection dating from the 9th century to the present. It is the historic library and record office of the Archbishops of Canterbury and the national library and archive of the Church of England. Our mission is to promote public access to our collection by welcoming researchers and through public engagement, such as outreach and cultural and academic partnerships. Lambeth Palace Library’s move to a purpose-built new building, which opened in 2021, has allowed us to unite its archival collections with those of the former Church of England Record Centre and will ensure that all the Library’s collections are preserved in the best conditions and made more widely available in the future. Our new building provides the public with easy access to the Library for the first time and allows us to host free exhibitions for all to view. Find us at 15 Lambeth Palace Road, London, SE1 7JT
