The Jerwood Library supports Trinity's mission to prepare informed performers of the highest calibre. Its core business is to provide all the information resources and music materials that students need to attain the high standard required by their courses. It is also a research library with collections of international significance, the most important of these being the Mander & Mitchenson Theatre Collection. The establishment of the Jerwood Library, which opened in September 2001, was made possible through the generosity of the Jerwood Foundation [www.jerwood.org.uk]. The Jerwood Library has three divisions: the main Jerwood Library, the Mander & Mitchenson Theatre Collection and the Centre for Young Musicians Library.
