Library
The Society's Library consists of a substantial collection of periodicals obtained in exchange for the Society's publications, copies of books and journals published by the Society and items acquired by the Society as review copies or gifts.
The LMS Library is integrated with the Mathematics section of the UCL (University College London) Library, a short walk from De Morgan House and within easy reach of both Euston and King’s Cross stations. Members of the London Mathematical Society thus have access to the combined resources of UCL and the LMS, and may use all the material available in the reading rooms and stores of the UCL family of libraries. The UCL Library Services online catalogue – eUCLid – can be found at http://library.ucl.ac.uk. The Mathematics collection is housed on the third floor of the UCL Science Library, which is in the DMS Watson Building on the Main UCL Campus (see UCL website for location information).
LMS Archive
The London Mathematical Society maintains a collection of historical material, known as the LMS Archive. Archive material owned by the Society is held in several different locations, and includes material that is on long-term loan to other organisations. Some categories of archive material are held at the Society’s headquarters in De Morgan House.
The LMS also houses the archives of the British Society for the History of Mathematics and the British Mathematical Colloquium. For further information please contact these organisations direct, or email librarian@lms.ac.uk
History of the LMS
