The collection has very strong holdings in all areas: from Russell's early philosophical writings, his writings on political and social philosophy to his important writings on pacifism and nuclear disarmament. It contains all of Bertrand Russell's books in first editions. ..There are many other extremely scarce items listed amongst the books and pamphlets as well as the contributions and articles.
