History
The Archives and Special Collections service was established in 2015, bringing together three predecessor services at the University of Surrey: the University of Surrey Archive; the National Resource Centre for Dance (NRCD) Archives; and the E.H. Shepard Archive. The department also manages a range of subject-specific special collections, including the special collections of the University Library, and the University of Surrey's Art Collection.
