Photographic and other Special Collections in Central Library
 
Collections in Birmingham Central Library have been designated as outstanding collections
by the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council.

This includes prints, negatives, lantern slides, books illustrated with original photographic prints and photo-mechanical reproductions, photographic books and periodicals, and non-photographic literature. The collections are not housed as single corporate body of material, but are arranged by subject in six subject information departments.
