The Children's Literature Collection came to existence in the 1990s by acquiring book material from different depositors and sources with the aim to build a resource centre for supporting the teaching and research of children literature studies at Roehampton. It is a reference collection of about 3,000 critical, theoretical, bibliographical and reference works. The Collection also holds runs of approximately 40 specialist children's literature journals.
A small selection of these have been digitised in their entirety and can be found at the link below.
The Froebel Archive for Childhood Studies centres on Friedrich Froebel’s educational legacy, early years and elementary education. It presents a comparative view of early childhood philosophies and supports teaching and learning within and beyond the University.
A number of popular historical books have been digitised for the use by students and researchers and other interested readers.
