Library and information resource. The British Architectural Library, held by the Royal Institute of British Architects, is probably the most comprehensive collection on architecture in existence. Access to the Library for reference purposes is free to all on production of proof of identity e.g. RIBA membership card (if applicable), passport, driving licence, student ID card.

A telephone information service is offered at a charge to non-members. The library's online catalogue is available to search free via the website. As part of the V&A + RIBA Architecture Partnership, the Drawings and Archives Collections are available in the RIBA Architecture Study Rooms at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Further details can be found on the website.
