Library Special Collections Exhibition 21 July

This is an invitation to find out more about The Inner Temple Library special collections. Ranging from the 12th to the 21st century, and covering a disparate range of subjects, our special collections contain thousands of items that even the most inquisitive library user is unlikely to have encountered on the open shelves. Book your ticket to view a hand-picked selection of these items up close and in person guided by members of the library team.
