The Contemporary Poetry Collections incorporate the archives of three publishers closely associated with the North East of England. The archives gather manuscripts and typescripts, editorial correspondence, design and publicity materials, and administrative papers, providing insight into contemporary British poetry publishing and its editorial practices.
Publishers’ archives are open to research. Collection level descriptions of these archives are available at Archives Hub. Readers wishing to consult collections in person at the University Library Special Collections may complete our request form. Further information about Special Collections, including accessibility and opening hours, can be found here.
