At the Royal College of Art
Through its programmes the Centre is committed to building up resources for designers, researchers and partner organisations. The intention is to make available the results of research and to encourage closer contacts between organisations and individuals from a wide range of backgrounds that share an interest in the Centre's social change themes.
The Inclusive Design Special Collection
Contains over 1500 books, articles, periodicals, information packs and other material on inclusive design, and is housed at the Royal College of Art Library. You can search the online catalogue, which includes an abstract for every entry. If you wish to consult the Special Collection in person, please contact us for an appointment.
