The Paul Mellon Centre joins the SCONUL Access Scheme

We are delighted to welcome new SCONUL member, the Paul Mellon Centre (PMC), as the latest addition to the SCONUL Access Scheme. PMC is a UK educational charity that fosters an understanding of British art history and culture. It is part of Yale University, and a partner to the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven in the US. The PMC is a multi-stranded institution which publishes books and an online journal, has learning and events programmes, and offers funding opportunities for individuals and organisations. The Archives & Library are at the heart of the Centre, with collections relating to British art and architecture. Although not a Higher Education Institution with its own students, PMC routinely welcomes students from HEIs amongst its readers and runs annual study abroad programmes for Yale undergraduates.

The PMC collection consists of approximately 40k books and exhibition catalogues, 15k auction catalogues and 250 journal titles.  It covers British art and architecture from the medieval period to the present day. PMC will provide access to its collections to all four bands for reference only use, requesting that readers book a place in advance via email. For more information please visit:
