About the books
The University of Edinburgh as well as having great students and staff, has great stuff. Since its very beginnings, the University has collected books, art, archives, manuscripts, musical instruments and objects to inspire its community in learning, teaching and research.
One of the world’s great collections has been built up over hundreds of years and constantly surprises those who come to view and enjoy the items.
The illustrations in these books are inspired by items and images within the collections and were collated by students during the 2019 Festival of Creative Learning Week, a 2021 Student Experience Grant project, and by staff in the Information Services Group.
We hope you enjoy and become curious to find out more.
