About the library
Copac does not contain the whole catalogue - it only contains records for Special Collections books and Russian and East European Studies (REES) materials.
Special Collections at the University of Bradford holds over 100 collections of archives and rare books, reflecting the University's strengths in social sciences and applied sciences and the history and culture of Bradford and its Yorkshire environment. Rich in rare modern volumes, our book collections cover archaeology, religion, literature, politics, industrial history and, above all, peace studies, one of the University's best known departments. There are several Special Collections relating to Balkans and former Yugoslavia, which complement the important holdings in the main library concerning East Europe.
Records for the REES collection were added as part of the COCOREES project and subsequent Cofor project to improve access to Russian and East European Studies material.
Records for Special Collections were added thanks to the Copac Challenge Fund.
The local library catalogue is available online.
