Books

From the late 1980s Sir Terry Farrell worked with publishers to publish architectural books. Filled with eye catching pictures of completed and proposed buildings, these books were used to publicise the practice and the work of the practice. They were for general sale, and also presented to clients or guests. Here we have a copy of 24 books, together with a small sections of planning files relating to some of these publications.

Booktrust Collection

  • Booktrust
  • Book Collection
  • 17th Century - present

In the 1970s, Book Trust (now Booktrust) and Arts Council Great Britain (now Arts Council England), recognising that Britain is a world leader in children’s publishing, worked with the nation’s publishers of children’s books to establish the Booktrust collection. The Booktrust collection was conceived and developed as an informal deposit library with children’s publishers agreeing to send books as they become available. The Collection has grown so that it now totals some 70,000 volumes, including new titles, reprints, existing books in new formats and books in translation.

In 2004 the Collection was transferred to Newcastle University’s Robinson Library (now the Philip Robinson Library). Bringing the Collection to Newcastle meant that it became part of the partnership between the University and Seven Stories: National Centre for Children’s Books (https://www.sevenstories.org.uk/).

This collection continues to grow thanks to the past and ongoing commitment and generosity of the UK publishing industry. Many publishers have been involved since the collection was created in the 1970s, and recent contributors include: Child's Play, Tate, O'Brien, Lantana and Macmillan.
