Jane Austen’s House holds a unique and important collection of objects related to Jane Austen, her life, works and family, and an extensive library of books by, about or related to Jane Austen, which can be viewed by researchers. You can view some of the highlights of our collection here. 

We welcome researchers and will always do our best to help you access our collections, or answer questions. We can also provide images for use in publications and talks.
