If there are any items from Library Special Collections that you think should be digitised let us know. The digitisation team will be happy to review your suggestion and, subject to copyright and the suitability of the item for digitisation, we will digitise and upload your selection to Warwick Digital Collections. We will be doing new requests every month.

Current projects

Hall Collection of Prompt Books

We are currently digitising a collection of approximately 600 18^th and 19^th century English playbooks donated to the library by Mrs G. F. Hall of Leamington Spa. The plays were used as prompt books by the actress, Clara St. Casse, who travelled with various British touring companies in the 19^th century. Many of the plays are signed and annotated by St. Casse.
