Institute of Commonwealth Studies Library

The ICwS Library is a major resource for those working on the Commonwealth as a whole, or on any of its member states in the fields of history, politics and international relations, agriculture, education, the environment, and social questions.

It houses over 190,000 volumes and specialises in providing material that is unavailable elsewhere in the UK or, in some cases, in the country of origin.
