Chelsea Special Collections closure

Special Collections at Chelsea College of Art and Design Library (http://www.arts.ac.uk/library/collections/chelsea) are currently inaccessible to users and staff. Material not available for use includes artists’ books, multiples, archives and ephemera. Weekly Special Collections drop-in sessions, seminars and visits have also been suspended until further notice. This is due to an unexpected problem with the ceiling of the room where these collections are housed. Urgent repair work is scheduled, which should be completed by Monday 8th of July, when normal service will resume.  Further announcements will be made if this changes. Meanwhile, please contact the library directly for updated information.
