The College's Library is as old as the College. From modest beginnings it has grown over the years into a library of great distinction, whose comprehensive specialist holdings of organ and choral music and books are known across the world.

Some parts of the RCO Library have now been catalogued electronically, in particular most of the sheet music for organ. Cataloguing is continuing in other areas and news of additions to the electronic catalogue will be announced when appropriate.

When seeking sheet music titles Members are encouraged to search this catalogue ahead of contacting the Library Manager with requests for loan (appointment and postal) and reference (appointment only) material. There are some restrictions in the lending of sheet music, largely dependent on age and condition of an item. Enquiries about this and about access to all other material in the RCO Library should be made direct to the Library Manager library@rco.org.uk
