Temporary Service Disruption

We are currently experiencing disruption to some Microsoft services used by the Library. As a result, our ability to process bookings, prepare material in advance of visits, and respond to enquiries is temporarily affected.

  • Readers visiting the Library may experience longer waiting times than usual. Advance requests and pre-ordering of material cannot currently be processed, so items will be retrieved during our scheduled fetching times. Capacity for each retrieval round is limited, which may increase delays.
  • New readers may be asked to provide registration information on arrival, as we are temporarily unable to access some information submitted in advance.
  • Our email service is currently affected, which means we may not be able to respond promptly to research enquiries and other correspondence.

Please be assured that our IT team is working closely with Microsoft to resolve the issue and restore normal service as quickly as possible.

We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work through these temporary disruptions and continue to provide access to our collections.

In 2025, Lambeth Palace Library presented Unfolding Time, an exhibition that explored medieval ideasabout time through an extraordinary type of book—the concertina-fold almanac—shown with treasures from the Library’s historic collections. This booklet, filled with colour illustrations, captures the display and offers the first general introduction to these curious books.
Copies of this publication can be purchased directly from Lambeth Palace Library for £5.00, and can also be posted for an additional £2.00. Please email archives@churchofengland.org for details.
All proceeds from publication sales go to the Friends of Lambeth Palace Library.
