 Founded in 1837, the University of London Library (ULL) was formally opened in 1877 (following the gift of Augustus De Morgan’s Library) in Burlington Gardens. Rapid expansion followed through both gifts and purchases, culminating in the gift of the Goldsmith’s Library of Economic Literature by the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths in 1903. In 1900, the University was reconstituted and the Library was moved from Burlington Gardens to South Kensington, and was formally re-opened by the Chancellor, the Earl of Rosebery, in 1906. The Library was moved again, in 1937, to the Bloomsbury site. The Library’s core mission from its inception was as a central research library - broadly across the wider arts, humanities and social sciences.  Founded in 1837, the University of London Library (ULL) was formally opened in 1877 (following the gift of Augustus De Morgan’s Library) in Burlington Gardens.
