On-site research
Temporary arrangements are in place for researching materials held at our London office. Researchers may arrange to view material from our collection of individual psychologists' archives or from the Society's own archives. Viewing by appointment only.
In some circumstances we will be able to retrieve other documents from storage for viewing at Society premises, either in London or Leicester. This is a limited service that will be provided by special arrangement in each case.
Off-site research
We are happy to offer an information service to answer queries submitted by e-mail, letter or phone. We will be able to answer some queries immediately, but others may have to wait until full access to the archive collection is restored.
We can supply photocopies of papers and other material (subject to copyright restrictions) at 10p per page (minimum charge £5) plus postage. BPS members will be allowed up to 50 pages and postage free of charge, but will be charged 10p per page above that (minimum charge will then be £5), plus postage, for which they will be invoiced.
The Society's main library holdings are at Senate House Library, University of London. Though Society members have to register with Senate House to obtain a reference user's card, and registration must be done in person, Senate House may be able to help non-registered members with one-off queries or requests for photocopies. Senate House Library have an online catalogue available to all on their website.
In the future we plan to set up online access to visual material. A user-registration scheme will be introduced at this point to enable registered users to download full-sized images. In the meantime we will negotiate individually with individuals or organisations wishing to publish images provided by us.
