University of Portsmouth Rare Books and Manuscripts Fund

The allocation of funds by the University of Portsmouth, with the aid of the Students Union, in order to purchase rare books and manuscripts, be they printed or handwritten, to help better aid the University's Humanities department, as well as aid in making the University more attractive to applicants. While the University Library does possess a small rare books collection, it has proved of little use to many Humanities students, particularly historians.
