  The Library
  But the first thing which is associated with the British Museum is its Library. The Library which is contemporary with the museum, consisted initially of the collection of books belonging to Sir Hans Sloane. To this library the other collections of manuscripts and books as well were added as the royal library, which provided the foundation of what was to become one of the largest and most important libraries in the world.

  The British Museum Library came into world prominence under its most remarkable librarian – Sir Antonio Panizzi, an Italian by birth, who had to leave his country because of revolutionary activities. Under his direction the library took on its present character. During the 35 years of service with the British Museum he formulated the rules and started the general catalogue.
