Team photo number two, at the Pepys library

The final stage of the whistlestop tour of three major Cambridge libraries. We pause before entering the Pepys Library at Magdelen College, and reflect on the unique arrangement of the Pepys bequest: no books may be added or removed to or from the collection. We view the famous diary, and the archivist, Phillipa Grimstone, is available to answer our many questions.
