Everything about The Pepys Library totally explained
The
Pepys Library of
Magdalene College, Cambridge is the personal
library of
Samuel Pepys bequeathed to the college following his death in 1703.
The library is housed in a room on the first floor of the Pepys Building inside the college. It contains 3,000 books preserved in Pepys's own bookcases for them (perhaps those his journal attributes to
Sympson the Joiner) and organised by size as he'd catalogued them. Under the terms of the bequest, none of the books may be sold, and no additional ones may be added to the library.

Visiting
The library is open to the public, but has very restricted opening times (typically 2.30-4.30pm during the quietest months of the academic year), but it's best to contact the college for current times.
