Library collections cover physical and biological anthropology and human evolution, supporting the study of palaeoanthropology.
Collections include manuscript material relating to the Piltdown Man, a hoax discovery which fooled the scientific community for forty years.
This material includes papers by Joseph Werner and Kenneth Oakley, and reconstruction drawings by Maurice Wilson.
