The Sociology collection is housed in the Seeley Library on Sidgwick Site. Material can be found in multiple locations within the library so we recommend you check iDiscover, and don't forget to speak to a member of staff if you need any help accessing your readings. For more information visit the Seeley Library Website.
There are many other libraries in Cambridge which may also hold useful resources for Sociology, why not try the following:
Casimir Lewy Library (Philosophy)

The Gender St
udies collection is comprised of 242 publications, mostly pamphlets, dating from the late 1960s to the 1980s. The material originated from various donations to the then SPS Library when the faculty was first established.
The collection includes keystone publications on LGBT issues, the liberation of men and women, advice on motherhood, abortion, childcare, race and employment. The late 20th century was an influential period in the movement of rights, making this archive an important resource through a range of disciplines.
Most of the archive is unique to Cambridge, if not the UK. As most of the items in the collection are fragile, copying or scanning is not permitted. All the items are catalogued and are available for users to browse in the Haddon library.
To browse this important collection, visit the Haddon library desk. The library staff will be happy to show you some of the interesting works in the archive, suggest ways you can further your reading within gender studies, and hopefully help to incorporate parts of this collection into your research.
