Inner Temple Library Location Inner TempleLondon , EC4 , England Type Private Scope Law Established c. Henry VII era; original building in existence by 1506Size Over 70,000 volumes[1] Access requirements Written application to the Librarian, to use material not available elsewhere Population served Barristers, judges, and student members of the Inns of Court Director Robert Hodgson (Librarian and Keeper of Manuscripts) Website innertemplelibrary.org.uk
The Inner Temple Library is a private law library in London , England, serving barristers , judges, and students on the Bar Professional Training Course . Its parent body is the Honourable Society of the Inner Temple , one of the four Inns of Court .
Its law collections cover the legal systems of the British Isles (England and Wales , Scotland , Northern Ireland , the Republic of Ireland , the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man ) and also Commonwealth countries . There are, in addition, extensive non-law collections covering such subjects as history, topography , biography and heraldry , and an important collection of legal and historical manuscripts.
History
[ edit ]
The Library is first mentioned in 1440,[2] John Selden 's manuscripts in 1654, most likely because the size of the collection would have necessitated a new building, but it has been described as "the greatest loss which the Library of the Inner Temple ever sustained".[3] William Petyt had been Keeper of the Records in the Tower , and a well-known writer of constitutional law)[4] [5]
The library building before World War II was a Gothic building built in 1827-8 by Sir Robert Smirke ,[6] [7] [8] [9] [10]
The building was destroyed during the Second World War: several thousand volumes of printed books (but none of the manuscripts) were lost.[11] [12] [13] [14]
The present building was completed in 1958 to the design of T.W. Sutcliffe, with alterations made in 2019-2022, and is in the style of the eighteenth century. The library itself occupies the second floor, with private rooms of the benchers below and an auditorium and meeting rooms above.[15]
The history of the Library is discussed in some detail in the introduction to J. Conway Davies's Catalogue of Manuscripts in the Library of the Honourable Society of the Inner Temple (Oxford , 1972).
Admission
[ edit ]
The Library is open to all members of the four Inns of Court.[16]
