Marshall Library of Economics

Marshall Library of Economics
The Marshall Library of Economics.

The Marshall Library of Economics at Cambridge University is the outgrowth of a Moral Sciences Library begun in 1885 by Professor Alfred Marshall and Professor Henry Sidgwick, consisting largely of their own books and housed in the School of Divinity.

Upon his death in 1924, Professor Marshall bequeathed much of his personal library to Cambridge. In his honour, the expanded collection was named "The Marshall Library of Economics", and moved to larger quarters on Downing Street. In 1935, it took over the former Squire Law Library, and in the early 1960s relocated once again to its present home in Sidgwick Avenue.
