The University of Glasgow was founded in 1451 and has been acquiring materials to support research and teaching ever since. This copy of A History of the Island of Barbados was acquired with the bequest of Dr William Hunter (1718-1783).

The exhibition in the Chapel centres around collection responses rather than the books and objects. However anyone can consult the University collections by prior appointment. If you would like to visit please email us so we can direct you to the right curator.
