Welcome to the RCM Library

The RCM Library is one of the foremost music libraries in the United Kingdom, with a wealth of material dating from the 15th century onwards. It aims to provide comprehensive support to performance, study, teaching and research in the College, through its loan, reference and listening services.

The Library is open to all current members of the College. Researchers and interested visitors may use it for reference only.

As a member of a number of collaborative projects, the RCM Library seeks to make a contribution to music documentation and information services nationally and internationally.
