This project provides both a social and architectural history of British public library buildings, and an evaluation of their potential for modernisation. An initial survey identifies and classifies surviving pre-1939 library buildings and forms the basis for the architectural history of an important Victorian and early 20th century civic institution with ambitious social objectives and an iconography to support them. In the final phase of the project we will examine case studies of schemes to upgrade historic buildings to meet the present needs of service providers and users.

该项目提供了英国公共图书馆建筑的社会和建筑历史，以及对其现代化潜力的评估。一项初步调查确定并分类幸存的1939年前的图书馆建筑，并形成了一个重要的维多利亚和世纪初的公民机构与雄心勃勃的社会目标和图像支持他们的建筑历史的基础。在计划的最后阶段，我们会研究改善历史建筑物计划的个案研究，以配合服务提供者和使用者现时的需要。
