British Museum

Anthropology Library and Research Centre: formed with the combined holdings of the Museum’s Ethnography library and the library of the Royal Anthropological Institute (RAI), it now contains over 120,000 volumes, covering all aspects of anthropology, but with a particular strength in material culture. The collection covers the whole world and the library continues to collect both domestic and overseas material, where appropriate; The Anthropological Index Online (AIO), an index to articles in the journal collection is also available. The library is open to the public for reference and research only. The library subscribes to a wide variety of e-resources and electronic journals which are available to readers on site; Research collections provide digital access to artifacts and historic photos, drawings, and documents in a searchable database. "Catalogues for all of the Museum's libraries can be searched online – please note not all Museum libraries have their entire collection recorded in the online catalogue."
