History
Victoria University Library holds a research collection of international importance containing manuscripts, papers and printed books belonging to Samuel Taylor Coleridge and others of his circle, including Wordsworth, Southey and Lamb. It provides an especially rich resource for the study of Coleridge's private papers and informal conversation.
Extensive secondary materials are also held in the collection to support Coleridge studies.
Most specialists know of the existence of the S. T. Coleridge Collection of manuscripts and rare books at Victoria University, but probably few are familiar with the scope and depth of materials which place the collection, according to The New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature, second in importance for Coleridge studies only to that of the British Museum
