Welcome to the BOA Library!

 

Founded in 1901 by the British Optical Association, the Library is one of the largest and most comprehensive collections of optical works, both modern and historical, in existence, containing some 6,500 optical books and pamphlets.
 
 What is the Library’s role? 
 
The Library is both a reference and a lending library.  It’s primary function is to support the education and continuing professional development of College members.
 
The library also provides answers to enquiries on vision and related topics from members of the general public, national and public libraries and researchers from all over the world.

 

The Public is welcome to use the library (by prior appointment) to carry out relevant research.
