Brand and image licensing

With 150 million collection items, the potential for product development and licensing is limited only by the imagination.

As one of the world’s greatest research libraries, the British Library’s collections and expertise are used daily by authors, publishers, scientists, TV and film producers, businesses, genealogists and academics.

The British Library is a place of knowledge and inspiration, encouragement and engagement, enabling people to create new ideas and new works about culture, society and commerce.
