University of Manchester Library[edit]

Hello, As the Owens College library, which became the library of the Victoria University of Manchester in 1904 has a history of 153 years before 2004 when the merger which formed the present university and university library occurred it is best to regard 1851 as the founding date rather than 1824 which the present university has included in its corporate image. The library which later became the UMIST library (called the Joule Library for the last 25 years of its existence) was in existence for 180 years before it became part of the John Rylands University Library on 1 October 2004; it was also much smaller than the other library with which it was then merged.--Johnsoniensis (talk) 13:16, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
