| description | <p class="first" id="d9445199e66">This article documents the history of the Institute of Archaeology Library from its
independent beginnings in 1937 until the merger of the Institute with UCL in 1986.
Documents from the Institute of Archaeology Library Archive, unpublished Institute
Management Committee Minutes and published Annual Reports are used to demonstrate
how the Library and the activities of its librarians reflected changes and developments
not only in the Institute community, but also within wider archaeological networks.
Initially situated in a united archaeological community with fluid boundaries, the
Library was to develop its own independent identity as changes in Higher Education,
professionalisation and commercialisation destroyed this unity and promoted the development
of distinct communities of professional practice.
