News and events from The Sparrows' Nest.

Welcome to this new and immensely exciting feature (queue bombastic music)!

Update 19/3/2017. We have upgraded the site and the mobile issue is solved. Thanks for your patience.

It’s been a while since we added to the links and friends section of the Nest website but we are about to make up with it with a tale of books, birds and both.

Hello everyone and welcome to another round up of news on the Sparrows’ Nest.

As spring moved into summer we are happy to offer you yet more additions to our collections and another 1,000 pages or so of fresh materials for the Digital Library! We have also made a lot of progress with a number of key collections. Following a systematic inventory of our Freedom collection, we have done the same with our issues of Black Flag (thanks again for recent donations that filled a number of gaps!). We have also been able to work through more donated materials, cataloguing and/or digitising them.
