From its beginnings in the 1850s as the library of the Meteorological Department of the Board of Trade, the National Meteorological Library and Archive has become one of the most comprehensive collections of literature on meteorology anywhere in the world.

As the national collection on all aspects of the weather and climate, we are the custodians of the 'public memory of the weather' and a major resource for scientific research.
