Help! I don't know what to do!

Worry not! The Gladstone's team has written a guide to help get you started. It explains how archive and library catalogues work in different ways to internet search engines, and has tips to help you get the most from your search. You can download it by clicking here.


What is Digital Gladstone?

Gladstone’s Library is committed to improving international public access to all its collections and events, using digital and online technologies to make as much as we can accessible to all. Our name for this is 'Digital Gladstone', launched in 2018 as an umbrella under which we can gather all the Library's efforts to improve and expand access to our collections and events. For several years now, the Library has hosted audio recordings of many events, maintained a blog, and improved the website and social media. As of 2023 there are two completed Digital Gladstone projects underway, Drawing Blood, Drawing Poison, Drawing Fire and Gladstone's Writing.


Our collections are freely available. If you would like to contribute to the finances of doing this, please click here.

Digital Gladstone has a volunteer team to help us realise the project’s aims and objectives. You can download the volunteer information pack here, and the specific Digital Gladstone volunteer details here

At the moment the volunteer team is physically based at Gladstone's Library. However, we expect there to be opportunities in the future for remote transcription volunteers. Please email [email protected] to register your interest.
