Jesuit library and archives will be open to the public

March 20, 2024

On Wednesday 20 March 2024 from 10am until 4pm, Heythrop Library and the British Jesuit Archives are holding a joint open day to allow anyone who is interested an exceptional opportunity to see relics, rare books, historical documents as well as modern books.

It is also a chance to see both their reading rooms and to enquire about library membership and how to conduct research in the archives. Archivists and librarians will be on hand to showcase the items, bringing the Jesuit Province’s rich history to life.

The invitation is open to all. There is no need to reserve or book! Please simply report to the main reception at 114 Mount Street, London, W1K 3AH, on Wednesday 20th March.

If you have any questions about the open day please email heythroplibrary@jesuit.org.uk
