Welcome to the first post on King’s Treasures, the blog of the special collections of the Library and Archives at King’s College, Cambridge. The library and archive holdings are kept in an early nineteenth-century building designed by the architect William Wilkins. Holdings include thousands of items ranging from tenth-century manuscripts and incunabula to College administrative archives and personal papers of notable individuals associated with the College.
We will be posting news items here about these special collections, as well as regular updates about a current project funded by donations to the Munby Centenary Fund to catalogue some of our rare books from the collection of the economist John Maynard Keynes.
